Quote: About a 1/4 way through a book that just came out called "Grumpy's Toys", by Doug Boyce. Well worth the $. Drag racing lost a special guy when he passed. Many cool pics in the book - several at the now defunct Beeline Dragway in AZ. I always give a salute when I drive by the old timing tower.
I agree, I have the new book "Grumpy's Toys" and have really enjoyed it. To my surprise, there is a large amount covering his years with Dave Strickler. Very cool photos. Lots of 1964 and 1965 when they were working for Chrysler. Very cool era of racing....the best in my opinion. Simpler times back then, refreshing to look at compared to today.
