Been in person to see him in action both at national meets and when they showed up at our local drag track. (Lebanon Valley Speedway) Back then all the big names got paid rather decently to go to local tracks. If the weather was good the local track would just about double its attendance

I would have to say Mr Jenkins was dam good in the shifting department, but not quite up to the level of who I considered the best Ronnie Sox.

Believe it or not another in the very fast shifting club was Shirley Cha Cha Muldowney I knew her when she used to street race, before she went pro and left the area!.
