La Crosse IN - Grumpy's Toy - 100_2570.JPG
Grand Indiana Auto Tour - July 31 - August 3, 2013
I stepped off the tourist train at La Crosse, IN, and immediately did a double take. Across the street from the La Crosse Public Library was what appeared to be a genuine drag racing car that was once campaigned by one Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins, a famous Chevrolet drag racer from the sixties and seventies. I assume this Chevy Vega was one of the Pro Stock cars that Da Grump ran back around 1974. Jenkins had a long series of "Grumpy's Toy" cars, so this was far from the only one. But it may be the only one of that model. I don't know who owns it now or what class it runs in.
