Re: Bill "da Grump" Jenkins Passed away today
A little story that Dick Landy told me a few years ago .
They ( Dick, Ronnie, Buddy, Don Nicholson,& "da Grump & others) of course, were fierce competitors at the tracks, & because they travelled the same circuit with each other, they spent alot of, away from the track, time together also. I don't remember who, but one of them bought one of those electric road race sets, threw away all the corners, bought more straights, & set up a scaled version of a drag strip in the motel hallways. Everyone had their own cars, & they would line up down the hallway with lawn chairs, have a few beer etc. & drag race these little slot cars. Dick said it was pretty even at first, because all the cars were out of the box, stock, but it didn't take long for everyone to start modifying them to make them faster. A racer will always be a racer!!!!! Can you envision these guys doing this????. Musta been really neat to watch these grown men who litterly hated each other durring the work day, play together so well after hours. Thought this would be a fitting place to share that story. liteweight |
