Bob Glidden Passes

Oh,and I remember the big crash in that video. Pre-internet,it was weeks and even months before you might get all the news from racing. You would hear about it first in print media,and then weeks or months later it might be televised. I saw it on a crash compilation tape first. The National Dragster would usually lag a week behind the previous week's action. It was a LONG time after Lee Shepherd got killed that we got the news though.

Andy Durham Ford type domination till everyone else started cheating.... Christ's peace to the greatest family in drag racing. Clevelands, Winsdors or Boss hemis.... it didn't matter... Glidden ruled. The GV2 windsor head that Ford claims to be trying to improve for Tony Stewart's dirt cars starts with G because of Glidden. So thankful Luna, Glidden, George Elliott etc didn't just talk about going faster and had rule books that allowed for true greatness. Also thankful for dlm racing allowing Andy to be truly great as well.

Most people associate Sparkomatic with crappy car audio,but they also made shifters! Guy I knew did a three on the tree conversion,and the shifter was a Sparkomatic. I actually have a pair of their speakers in my beater in the rear doors. Factory ones quite working,and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time when my cousin was about to throw those speakers away.

First two floor shifts I had were Fenton and Sparkomatic... Now I have Fu Man Chu and Wong Hung Lo...
