I called, Roy and told him I would be there on a monday. Roy, ask me how I was going to get to his place. I told him I would fly into Dulles and take a taxi to his place. Roy told me no way. I said what do you mean? Roy said fly into Dullas and take the blueline train to addison road. When you get there call me.

So I did. Roy came and picked me up and I spent one of the best weeks of my life with a good guy.


Roy, took me back to the motel every night as well as picking me up every morning. I lost contact with Roy and haven't spoken to him since 2001 or 2002.

Roy, told me lot of stories about drag racing and nhra in the 60's. He also had a few good Jenkins,stories from being a tech inspecter.

I think, Roy even built a few billet cranks for, Jenkins V-6 comp motors.

Yes he is a great guy. I bought a new K.O. Lee seat and guide machine thru him in the late 1980's. He got me the good tooling for Hi performance work and Harley work. Had a few cranks done by him for my car and a few others. Its been maybe 19-20 years since I had talked to him. Heard a lot of cool stories from the 60's. Most of the guys used his shop then as there wasnt any other or better one around in the 60;s.
