The Grump raced many times at my home track....Island Dragway.

Saw him match race Stahl there with their A/S cars in 1966
Camaro's, Chevy II's all in SS a couple years later and then in the Modified classes and soon Pro Stock.
Saw him Match race before there was Pro Stock.....
Him and Landy one night put on quite a show by themselves.
Nothing like it today....rosin burnouts.....cigars hanging out of both their mouths...Loved it...

Any car with a Jenkins Competition arrow on it was one that was usually fast and probably a record holder at one time or other....

Truly a one of a kind.....RIP Grump....
