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.

Some of the smartest people I have ever met were drag racers. The cream rises to the top in competition. Grump knew a lot. Had the respect of the best engineers. He would have been succesful at anything he attempted.
