I read an interview with Grumpy years ago. Don't remember where.
What I do remember was when asked how, when building a car, did he decide if the part was too heavy.
To the best of my memory the answer was,
"I throw it into the air. If it comes back down and the car will run without it, it's too heavy."

Mr. Mopar,

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!

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.
