Comments: I don't know all the details, but I understand that Wall Stadium exists because of the Nichol family.   I'm not sure of the circumstances of the photo above, but I know that Jenny was the owner/promoter from the opening until the late 90's.  I hope the Wall Stadium faithful will give us the information.

01/11/04 Ray Don't know the reason for the photo but the year was 1966. 
04/04/04 Charlie P. In reply to the Nichol family's involvement with Wall.  Jenny's husband built the track which opened in 1951 (?).  In the mid 60's Jenny took over the operations.  In the 70's, their son Tucker ran the track until its sale a few years ago. 
05/06/04 Terry Kelleher One of the most important for our sport.   She brought a degree of professionalism and good business practice to an otherwise slip shod sport.  Promoters would cheat on purse pay-outs or for that matter slip away before the end of the show with all the money.  Some promoters business practices were unsound and after only a season or two the track would die of financial ruin.  Mrs. Nicol helped to make weekly modified stock car racing  a viable business and sport.  I might also add the Nicols' NEVER missed paying a full purse.
