I liked pretty much all the CHiPs except Grossman.

It was all that blond pulchritude that got my little gay heart jumping in those days: Wilcox, Reilly, and mostly Penhall. Being only 5'7", he really set my heart aflame! Little blonds can still turn my head to this day. I always wondered what happened to him. I will have to seek out all those cheesy movies and have a Penhall Film Festival in the living room.readycarloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13744422808992126562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-46645852362940115862015-08-06T21:38:54.430-04:002015-08-06T21:38:54.430-04:00That certainly makes it one to watch out for!

Lots of good racers and many happy weekends, with the extra thrill of Bruce bringing the title back from Europe and all the greatest riders from all over came to our tiny Costa Mesa track. Thanks Bruce, what an unforgettable experience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18062645650742969997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-77334378524394712842015-03-02T08:35:19.886-05:002015-03-02T08:35:19.886-05:00Patricia, thanks for taking time to comment and fo...Patricia, thanks for taking time to comment and for supplying your own information and reflections about Mr. Penhall!

He was one of only a few sportsmen to win world championships in more than one sport, speedway and powerboating.<br />He and Laurie had 3 children together, Ryan, McKenzie and Connor who as you said sadly passed away in 2012. He has been through so much personal sorrow, yet he is still such a truely amazing warm hearted guy who fights through all that us thrown at him, with that beautiful smile still shining through.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047511602763123448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-28289839774943659132015-02-24T18:30:34.305-05:002015-02-24T18:30:34.305-05:00Hello, Glenn.

I remember watching the CHiPs reunion movie when it aired (and being disappointed by it), but I couldn't miss Bruce as well as the by-then older Robert Pine (who also has a tribute here.)

I think out of all the people that came and went on CHiPs, my favorite was Jenner.<br /><br />Your crush for Penhall reminds me of my own crush at around the same time (give or take a year or two) for Daniel Greene of Falcon Crest. Later to star and costar respectively in "Iron Fists of Fury" and "Elvira: Mistress of the Dark." Ah, good times.
