William Tyler "Grumpy" Jenkins (1930 – 29 March 2012) was an engine builder and drag racer. Between 1965 and 1975 he won a total of thirteen NHRA drag races.[1] Jenkins raced in the clutchless planetary gear transmission era. Most of these wins were won with a manually shifted four speed transmission. In 1972 he recorded 250 straight runs without missing a gear shift.[1]
Without factory support, Jenkins developed his first "Grumpy's Toy", a 327 cubic inch / 350 horsepower Chevy II. When he found out that the compact car was to be placed in the same class as the 426 Hemi-powered / 425 horsepower Dodge and Plymouth muscle cars, he commented that it "looked like a pretty good gimmick at the time".[2] The lower displacement engine in the smaller car was able to outrun the larger engines in the heavier cars. He set a class record with a 11.66 second run.[
