Just heard that Grumpy Jenkins has passed away. " Da Grump " was a legend of drag racing and will be missed. Also my understanding that Caroll Shelby is hospitalized and is very ill also. God speed to these great men !!! :(

We will miss Da Grump.....

Godspeed to Chevy's answer to those nasty Hemis..

That man FORGOT more about Chevrolet engines than most will ever learn.

Grumpy was the opposition in the Pro Stock ranks, but you have to acknowledge innovation & success. RIP to a true legend in the sport.

Did I just hear Ronnie Sox fire up his Barracuda in anticipation of a certain small block Vega coming to annoy him?

A legendary hero loved by all no one will forget his contributions to the sport or to peoples lives!!!

God speed and our prayers go out to your family

I have some of his diecast "Toys". But I could reallllly use some pics of the engine in his '69 Camaro strip cars. I believe he had both prostock and something else. I'd like to build some tribute versions of those if I can get drivetrain and interior pics.

I remember him most from his '66 nova. I watched him run in a NHRA event in Muncie, Indiana and talked to him in the pits. Another time in Indy at the Nationals. R.I.P.

A google search will bring up lots of pics of his cars. And if your on facebook, search Bill "grumpy " Jenkins and there's a treasure trove of pics of his toys.

Quite a few car pics, but not much of the engine bay or interior last time I looked.
