    We've lost another legend today. I was just told that Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins has passed away. He will be missed by everyone.

    I loved his speed secrets book as at that time your only choice for heads, balancers, distributors, etc. was massaging factory pieces. With the ability to order everything aftermarket the inventiveness has left the sport.
