I'd like see that collection in a racing museum somewhere for everyone to be able to appreciate his accomplishments rather than some person keeping it for their own.

I couldn't agree more with you Todd. All of Grumpy's stuff has significance, but that 1970 WinterNats Wally for the first ever Pro Stock race signifies a historical milestone in the sport and should be recognized as such by being in a museum.

I agree,, that trophy for sure should be in the NHRA museum, preferably with the Camaro and the Cuda,(if they're still around), in front of a wall sized photo of that particular final, from Pomona 43 years ago.

Wow! That's way more than I imagined! I guess the only thing on the list that may be in my budget is his old pair of shorts. I guess I'll pass then...:o
