@rudfil How often do we hear any drivers today go that far in complementing the competition.

Check out the pits. No "VIP Area" to keep us riff-raff out. NHRA seems to have forgotten where they came from!!

I love Bob Glidden sticking it to the BB Chevy with a W2 small block Chrysler!!!

[SPUDS752]

WOW!!! BIg Daddy just reeled him right in!!! And then talk about being slow just to safe, he really was a pioneer long before the 1000 ft. rule. Great video I love drag racing, it's in my blood!!!

Great video.

I and them would love to relive those days again.

Just one!

I forgot the dragstrip at Ontario was the pitlane to the oval.

Glidden did win the NHRA title in 1980.

Hard to believe that the very next year in 1980, Lee Shepherd would be the guy who gave Glidden a headache. 1980-1984 to be exact.
