    I did see Bill jenkins race his ChevyII at Vargos Dragway in Bedminster township Pennslyvania in 1966 or 1967 at a special grudge match with the Sox and Martin Hemi Cuda. I specifically remember how Grumpy checked out his lane and swept the starting box area with a broom before he went out and whipped Ronnie Sox. Watching the Grump push that broom with that cigar in his mouth was unforgettable.

    My husband went to the race at Bristol in 1973, and Grumpy won that race! He has a picture of the car, a 72 Vega. If you'd like me to email you a picture, let me know. He has other pictures also, one is a 66 Nova. He is a big fan!
