The legendary "Grumpy's Toy"

RIP.
I probably built models of that thing when I was a youngster.
That’s a name from the past.
Wasn’t he one of the Small Block Chevy experts back in the day along with Smokey Yunick?
May both rest in piece.
Excellent book from back in the day
My teenage hero. I saw him run so many times at Great Lakes
Drag A Way in Union Grove Wisconsin. His ‘72 vega was one of
greatest drag race cars of all time. I can still hear that
screeeeeming small block chevy! The entire crowd would stand
when he and Dyno Don Nicolson ran against each other.
Rest In Peace Grumpy Bill.

Bought a 68 Camaro in 1979. Still own it today ! RIP my boyhood idol.
I saw Grumpy’s Toy run at Beeline Dragway in the late 60’s. Beeline was located East of Scottsdale AZ on McDowell Road. Unfortunately, Beeline is gone and now Grumpy, too.
We used to match race against him when I worked for Pat Musi in the late ‘70’s.
I’ll bet you he asked St. Peter what his time was getting to Heaven.
