WJ has really changed over the years. The guy had zero charisma when he started in pro stock. He looked too serious and bored all the time. And what a crybaby, especially about Glidden. He would say things like, his roof is lower than mine, his front end is too long, also accused BG of cheating. when ask how he said he didn't know but the only way he could win so much was to cheat. Now he is a little more likeable, just a little. lol

Back in 1998 I found out that WJ was coming to race in Woodburn Oregon so I drove over to meet him. To my shock, he gave me quite a bit of time to glean automotive wisdom from him. I learned so much and appreciated the time so much, I drove to Seattle for his next race there and again got to hang out. This is the kind of man that it took to make drag racing what it became. I'm so thankful he took the time to put his wisdom in to print.

@@Dave180M GRUMPY JENKINS WAS ANOTHER CHEATING PIECE OF SHIT. IN 1970 THE GAPP & ROUSH 351 CLEVELAND POWERED PINTO IN PROSTOCK TOOK NO PRISONERS. AND THAT CHEATING PIECE OF SHIT CRY BABY JENKINS PROTESTED TO HIS BUDDIES THE NHRA, AND HAD THE PINTO BANNED. IN 1960 CRY BABY JENKIN RACED HIS 348cI TRI-POWERED IMPALA AGAINST DYNO DON'S HI-PO 352ci STARLINER. DYNO DON BLEW HIM AWAY. THE CRY BABY JENKINS CLAIMED DYNO DONE WAS CHEATING. SO TECH BROKE DOWN DYNO DON'S ENGINE LOOKING FOR RACE PARTS AND FOUND IT WAS COMPLETELY STOCK. THEY THEN TESTED THE SPRING PRESSURES ON THE HEADS AND FOUND ONE SPRING OUT OF TOLERENCE THAT HAD A HIGH SPRING TENSION. SO THEY DISQUALIFIED DYNO DON ON THAT BASIS. AND THAT PIECE OF SHIT JENKINS WILLINGLY TOOK THE TROPHY WIN AND WALKED AWAY INSTEAD OF DOING THE RIGHT THING AND RIGHTFULLY GIVING TO WIN TO DYNO DON. I BET YOU IF TECH WOULD HAVE BROKEN DOWN GRUMPY'S ENGINE THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND ALL TYPE OF RACE PARTS. CHEVY HAS BEEN CHEATING THEIR WAY TO THE FINSH LINE SINCE THE AMA BAN OF 1957. WHEN IT CAME TO CHEVY THE NHRA LOOKED THE OTHER WAY AND ALLOWED THEM TO CHEAT. WHEN IT CAME TO FORD THEY WERE PUT UNDER A MICROSCOPE. BOB GLIDDEN PUT IT IN THE BEST WORDS WHEN HE SAID "THEY HAVE 1 SET OF RULES FOR ME AND ANOTHER SET OF RULES FOR EVERYBODY ELSE". ALL THESE CHEVY RACERS HAVE CHEATING IN THEIR BLOOD. THAT IS THE REASON THEY RACE CHEVY'S. LOOK AT THE CHEVY SMALL BLOCK. IT IS A SAME DESIGN ARCHITECTURE AS THE CHRYSLER, AMC, PONTIAC, BUICK, OLDS, WITH THE SAME SIAMESED INTAKE AND EXHAUST PORTS. FORD WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE CONVENTIONAL DESIGNS THEY WERE ALL USING. THE CHRYSLER WAS A BETTER DESIGN THEN THE CHEVY WITH BETTER VALVE ANGLES, BETTER MORE STABLE VALVE TRAIN, ANGLED PLUG, CAM HIGHER UP IN THE BLOCK A RACE ASPECT OF RACE ENGINES TODAY. SO HOW IS IT THAT FROM ALL THESE CONVENTIONAL DESIGNS. CHEVY WAS THE ONE WHO ALWAYS WON. STATISICALLY THE OTHER CONVENTIONAL DESIGNS SHOULD HAVE ALSO SPLIT OR SHARED IN THE WINS. BUT STRANGELY IT DIDN'T HAPPENED. THE REASON IT DIDN'T HAPPENED WAS BECAUSE THE NHRA DETERMINED THAT CHEVY WAS TO WIN.

The late 70's,80's were my favorite times for Pro Stock racing. The teams like Buddy Ingersoll, who Warren feared and hated, Reher and Morrison with Bruce Allen, Lee Shepherd, Bob Glidden, Gapp and Roush were the Golden years. These were the years when the drivers worked on their cars, unlike today 9 pro's are spinning wrenches. Warren was the one who worked on his cars the entire afternoon of racing.
