Here was one of the many websites about Bob Jenkins that I found did a nice job. Always liked him and enjoyed seeing him on TV. Such another loss. RIP and God Bless his family.

I had the privilege of getting to meet Bob on a couple of occasions and the way you saw him on TV was the way he was in life. He was friendly and seemed to always have a minute for a fellow Hoosier race fan.
We're in the time frame where all of our Hero's and our Dad's or Grandfather's hero's are going away, it seems like everyday. But sometimes we forget that we had other..well, yeah, they were hero's too. Maybe not in the same sense that an AJ or JR, or Rick Mears are, but a hero nonetheless. The overwhelming majority of us who grew up or simply got older in the 80's and 90's watching racing, did so on ESPN and ABC. Benny Parsons, Larry Nuber, Buddy Baker, Ned Jarret, Dave Despain, through all of the different series from NASCAR, Off-Road, Sports Car, all the way down to the local guys trying to make a name for themselves on Thunder. The one constant was Bob Jenkins was usually involved.

The 1978 F1 season we did at HSO in 2016 is definitely one of the most enjoyable championships in my simracing career. I drove a FW07 and loved that car. R.I.P Sir Frank |
