Heard a little while ago. :sadangel: RIP Grumpy...

Yeah I saw it on Atco's Facebook page earlier today, sad news for sure. :sadangel:
Here's a very cool pic that they posted as well, certainly a few drag racing legends in this '4 wide' photo from Atco MANY years ago: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...15698912_n.jpg |
He was "the guy" for me when I was a kid reading hot rod mags way before I could drive/own a car. I cloned his 68 Camaro about 15 yrs ago after talking to Bill several times on the phone about it. I got to meet and talk to him a while at Pomona around that time. He was one sharp SOB. RIP. I'll assume the next thunder I hear is you running something on a dyno up there

He was a legend and will be missed.

One helluva innovator and drag racer.. he will be sorely missed!! |
Saw "Da Grump" race many times at E'town in the 1970's. He will missed throughout the drag racing community. RIP Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins.
