Re: Bill Jenkins passed away
Sad, sad news. I have a yellow w/ black Jenkins logo t-shirt that I've worn on the "eliminations" day of any event I've raced at for probably close to a decade or more now...that alone is nothing earth shattering, just kind of a Liz Taylor "these have always brought me luck" type deal, but I've always found it fitting to acknowledge someone who did so much for the sport I love.

Re: Bill Jenkins passed away
One of my favorites. Had the chance to talk with him a few years back. What a gentlemen. We talked for some time about the 68 Car Craft All Stars and what a honor it was to be part of that team, and several more times though out the years.It was amazing watching him light up and talk about something he was truly proud of. Rest in peace Grump.

Re: Bill Jenkins passed away
The term "legend" is often over used but this guy was the real deal, indeed. Was hoping to introduce my son to him at the York show this summer.

Re: Bill Jenkins passed away
He made me laugh my ass off at the Chicago show! A guy was standing next to him trying to get his picture while he was looking down at a magazine(of coarse racing)the guy asked a least five times to look up at the camera and not once did he look up!! Priceless...
