Who is going to the races this weekend?? Lets hook up and PARTY!!!
when is it?
when is it and how much.. sweet..
Times are tough.
Warren Johnson couldn't get sponsorship - not even making the trip.

Not that I'm even a minor fan of his, but it doesn't bode well for the sport.
I'm sure by now, everyone has heard that Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins passed away this morning at 9:30 east coast time.
He had been hospitalized for several days, but I don't know for what.

The sport of Drag Racing has lost one of its most iconic legends.
We would have loved to go to the drags. Lets get together when you get back in town.

Warren Johnson: Times are tough, if you don't perform, you don't get sponsorship and he hasn't done much in several years. His ego hasn't made me a fan either.

Grumpy Jenkins: Agree! What a tragic loss to the sport!

You're spot-on as far as W.J. is concerned
Back when people were begging him to take money and put their name on his car, his 'asshole' personality didn't get in the way.
But now that it's become a "what have you done lately" scenario, his attitude is biting him in the ass.
Sure, this is the first year I will miss the MATS in years and NOW all of you are going!!!! I am completely bummed...... :(

RIP Grumpy..
Oh,,,, Sorry, I thought you were talking about Mopars At the Strip...


Carry on...
soo when is it?
