Re: Awesome video...Jenkins/Landy match race '75
I loved it! Gotta agree with Jeff too. This was about 6 years before I started going to the races. Love the old skool stuff! Those Vegas, Pintos, Hornet's, and Arrows were awesome. Saw a documentary 15 years or so ago about the Pro Stock cars and drivers. They were using the traction dust, and had in car cameras filming the guys rowing the four speeds with cigars clenched in their teeth. Im not sure of the year it was made but Grumpy was driving a Camaro and Landy and Leal were driving Dusters. Don Jackson

Re: Awesome video...Jenkins/Landy match race '75
Reason I'm asking...thought the '75 season at Jenkins Comp. was the Grump in his
Monza...(running NHRA schedule) Ken Dondero in another Monza...(running AHRA schedule) Don't think Larry L. was driving at this time... Very possible Grump retained a Vega for match race appearances ONLY...so to keep the Monzas "fresh" for the long national points battles.... Anybody? |

Not sure on the date. I done some you tube searching for the Grump and early years prostock, found some good stuff but not the one I watched a decade or so ago. Search you tube search for Bill Grumpy Jenkins at the 68 NHRA Nationals. It's worth the time. Don Jackson
