I see that Larry Perkins is running well...an 8.53, with, of all people, Grumpy Jenkins prepped Hemi. What a lot of folks don't know that Jenkins was a pretty successful racer in 64 and 65 A990 Hemi b-bodies back in the day...even after he went to Chevrolet there was still a significant number of Jenkins' Competition prepped MoPars on the east coast.
