“Grumpy” Jenkins’ status as an NHRA legend is uncontested. Wheeling a number of violent Chevrolets, Jenkins was an engineer first, racer second, and tolerated no fools at the line. His line of Grumpy’s Toy cars were well-built machines that were something to seriously be feared by other competitors in Super Stock and Pro Stock. Running against such competition as Dick Landy, Ronnie Sox and Don Nicholson, Grumpy strived for consistency and clean performances. This footage from the 1968 NHRA Nationals takes a look in and around Jenkins’ world as the race unfolds. You’ll get interviews aplenty, looks around the cars and of course, great historical drag racing footage. They just don’t make ’em like this anymore…
