Default Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins died today

I knew he was a major influence in drag racing but this man was truely a pioneer in so many aspects. The racing community owes a big thanks to this man. I'm sure hes using the pearly gates as an entrance to the water box. RIP.

It's a shame, there's a good article on nhra.com about him.
