If I'm incorrect, provide info supporting your assertion.

Whitman and Von Bargan did work for Grump. Pete Hutchinson worked on the crew briefly. The three were going to start a chassis parts business. But Grumps win at the Winternationals created a demand for Vegas. I have had some conversations with Pete that have put some light on the evolution of the early cars they built.
