Len’s passion has always been cars and racing. When he wasn’t hard at work in the hardware store, he was working even harder on his racing.
He’s been racing since the 1960’s, when drag racing was in its infancy. Fast forward 50 plus years to 2012, add a second generation, and three amazing cars and you have Len’s racing team. It currently consists of a 1963 factory aluminum Max Wedge Plymouth Savoy driven by Paul Habura, a 1964 Max Wedge Plymouth Savoy Wagon driven by Len Grimsley III, and a 1967 Plymouth Hemi Belvedere driven by Jeff Burris. The 1963 Plymouth Savoy has received numerous awards and is arguably the fastest Nostalgia Super Stock car in the world. Len’s race cars are all run in AFX classes of nostalgia Super Stock racing. The venues are all over the country and are associated with the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) and NMCA (National Muscle Car Association).
Coming soon in 2012... a 2009 Drag Pak Challenger driven by Len Sr.
