I recall several years ago, Bill Jenkins was crew-chiefing or tuning for Pro Stock racer Gordie Rivera at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park's SuperNationals event... Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins is a hero among Pro Stock racers, fans and "old skool" drag racing aficionados... Lots of drag racing folks respect Bill a great deal... On the Big Stick song titled "Sweet Liberty" there's a vocal line that says somethin' like, "We'd be up all night talkin' drag racin', and if ya started nodding off or falling asleep, Daddy would slap your face, Daddy wouldn't shut up about that Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins...".... I have grown to love that song and the unwavering patriotism it represents... I'm glad that "Grumpy" is now reported to be hanging in there and doing well with his recovery... All our thoughts and prayers are with Bill and his wife... We're all wishing the very best for "The Grump"... Hope to see him back at the drag strip... Diana...
