The man on the left with Grumpy, Ronnie, and Buddy is Jim Henderson. Jim was tech inspector at Pittsburgh International Dragway where the photo was taken. Jim still races his J/S Chevelle locally at the IHRA and NMTRA races. Jim was fortunate enough to get all 3 to sign the photo for him and brings it to all of our P.I.D. reunions. Now as to what was being discussed, I will have to get back to you on that!

Thanks, Carl. Yes, I'd like to know what Ronnie said that was so funny.

I thank Mr. Truby every time I see him for all of the great drag photos that he took. He is the link between my generation (32) and the good old days of stock / super stock racing.

I've downloaded hundreds of his photos (including pix of your dad's Mopars) and am very grateful he was so generous to share.

As far as Camaros go, this is my favorite "Toy."

Anyone here know the number of Camaros that were in "Grumpy's Group" as seen in this pic on the rear spoiler...

H.M. Yellow COPO Camero looks a lot like Ed Hedrick's car, so I contacted him and had him look at the site. He got back with me and sure enought thats his car. He is coming up to my place and we are going out to Ohio very soon and pick up my new race car (N/SS 68 Dart) If you have a picture of his car I would like to purchase one to give to Ed.....Jack
