Another Drag Racing Giant Gone - Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins Made His Last Pass Today At 81

RIP Grumpy. He gave me some fond memories when I was a kid. I remember seeing him race once in St. Louis ion the 70's and he would up in the sand pit at the end of the track. Can't remember if it was the same year as the sand trap or not but the other memory was him having his car stolen, truck and all while he was here for the races.
