Re: Bill Jenkins in hospital

Re: Bill Jenkins in hospital
So sad to hear this. Probably one of the most famous drag racing photographs is Ronnie Sox and Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins, two of the best driver to ever shift a 4-speed, with the wheel up off of the starting line. Get well soon Bill. Our thoughts and prayer for you and your family.

Re: Bill Jenkins in hospital
Bill Jenkins has been in the hospital. He did have an operation to drain excess blood from his brain. Even though the technology is amazing and the success rate impressive, the first 24 hours following this surgery are dicey. He's through that and back in his room. Therapy will start soon. Recovery is a process and let us pray he travels that road as he traveled the quarter-mile, a winner!

Re: Bill Jenkins in hospital
Thanks for the updates, Tom! Bill has always been my hero, ever since he swerved to avoid hitting me in the pits at E-town in 1968!
 My prayers are with him for a speedy recovery! Lew
