Re: Bill Jenkins passed away

I just learned of Ol' Grumps passing. Truly a passing of one of the great innovators of drag racing. He was a very much a thinking man for a racer.

I never personally met the man and I am less of one for not getting to know him. When I was a lot younger, my landlord was talking about Mr. Jenkins and how he earned his nickname. God speed and hammerdown!!!!
