I remember this. You could buy a turbo V6 in a Regal but you couldn't buy a mountain motor in any of the Ford, Chrysler or Chevy offerings. The other racers were bitching about Buddy's car racing in Pro Stock but his was the only legitimate representative of a vehicle you could buy off a showroom. They were afraid he could turn it up at will whenever he needed to in order to beat his opponent. The other racer were just scared of that bad Buick.

I saw Buddy run his Regal in Comp eliminator at Indianapolis in 1985. He was running quicker and faster than the Pro Stocks of the day, so I thought he should be allowed to run with the "big boys". The pro stock prize money must have been much larger than winning in comp. Buddy Ingersoll was a true innovator in drag racing. Anybody that can build a 268 cube engine to run with 700 cube engines deserves a lot of respect as an engine builder. I saw his twin turbo V6 Skyhawk with liquid Nitrogen intercoolers at Englishtown in 1987. Awesomely fast, too. He was definitely an innovator.

+Chris Stavro --- Way easier to build horsepower with the boost of a turbo or supercharger than with a naturally aspirated engine. Buddy was one of the first to have success with turbo's in drag racing and he was a total terror. He ran 9's with a 4 cylinder Ford Pinto in Modified Eliminator before he went to the Buick in IHRA Pro Stock. Also Buddies times in this race would even be a honorable mention against todays 500 CI Pro Stock Motors that run 6.40 quarter mile times at over 215.00 MPH. So you got a little carried away with your 30 year later comment.

I have loved turnos since I was a kid and the grand nationals were killing everything on ant street with that little V6. There were always a few guys who would build turbo cars and just murder everyone, instead of others seeing the light, they would ban turbos or just not switch over. Tom Nelson talks about tearing down turbo 1500 plus street engines and the bearings look new. Gale Banks talks about his turbo off shore boats in the 70s or 80 just obliterating everyone and lasting the whole season with no damage, of course they were banned in favor of inefficient roots blown motors with less HP, that costs more and didn't last.

You can tell alot of people don't understand forced induction and power adders. they want to talk about a V6 going against a V8. The truth is Back when the Pro Stock class was formed. They did that to get away from bracket style racing. And there was a set of rules for that class as well. Some racers demand heads up racing. And some didn't mind bracket racing. but the Pro Stock guys loved heads up racing. And I think they saw Buddy as a intrusion on there way of racing in that class. They were worried it would ruin the class if they started letting turbo assisted cars run in Pro Stock. Kinda like the guys that only want a car with matching numbers. They are called purest. versus a car that is the same as the matching numbers cars. But there car doesn't have any matching number parts. Matching numbers cars bring more money when they go up for sale. So Pro Stock drivers like it that way. I don't think any Pro Stock driver watching Buddy Ingersoll run his car as fast as he did that day had any doubt it was only a matter of time before Buddy would be winning alot of Pro Stock races. Is was more of an intrusion on there class then it was they were afraid of a turbo power car being faster than a natural aspirated car. Because anybody that knows engines would already know horsepower and torque is KING. It would be no different if a electric car raced in Pro Stock. It just doesn't fit in the class or the rules. If you disagree with me. Then lets run a top fuel dragster against Buddy's car and see who wins. Each class has rules for a reason. Drag racing is not about having the fastest car on the planet. It about having the fastest car in your class. Top Fuel Dragsters and Funny cars are the fastest in a thousand feet. You won't see a Pro Stocker racing against a top fuel powered car period. They are not in the same class based on the rules for each class. Consider this. Look at Pro Mod cars. They run 5.78 E.T. times at over 250 MPH. Those cars have power adders on them like buddy had. Current Pro Stock record naturally aspirated only run 6.50's at 213 MPH. Do you think Pro Mod and Pro Stock should run heads up against each other? I don't think so. My hat go's off to Buddy Ingersoll for reaching the level he did. But if his car was legal according to the rules. He wouldn't have been allowed to run that day. I think it was done on purpose because all the attention it received in the drag racing world and all the publicity it received made alot of people go by a turbo for their car or truck. And people got rich off of installing them on customers cars. Think about it. Maybe Buddy could have beat Glidden that day and decided not to beat Glidden because it would have caused too many problems all around. It was also rumored that buddies clutch was pretty worn out by the final round against Glidden. Some guys love power adders on their cars. And some don't. Back then during the Glidden Ingersoll race. Most guy's didn't care about power adders. Today more guy's want power adders more then guy's who want just raw power. Its a matter of personal chioce and generations that come and go. One day we will all be racing Electric cars. I could strap myself to a rocket and go top fuel racing i suppose. If NHRA let me. I'd say NHRA is going to piss off some top fuel people. Especially if I can get to the 1,000 foot stripe before anyone else. Top fuel people would be protesting the same as the Glidden Ingersoll race drivers did. It was cool to watch though.

Glidden qualified at 7.25 and ran a 7.28 in the final against Buddy. Buddy's previous two passes were 7.33's, and he ran a 7.33 against Glidden. He couldn't have won on that day. He even had a better reaction time in the final, but Glidden drove around him.

so you people are all worked up over your twin turbo Buick beating some naturally aspirated V8s. please. put some turbos on that big Ford of Glidden's and it would make that Buick look silly. Buick ain't never had shit.

Mike Burks shut up dumb ass you know turbos still are champ. All that motor n still had to use nitrous to beat a little v6 Hahaha

Rudy Rosales yes and that's why you've seen so many of them down through the years, and Glidden's car was not on nitrous. you don't know shit pro stock was always carbureted all motor class until a couple of years ago when they ruined it.

A power added race motor against naturally aspirated race engines. This is like a blower powered car against a non blower powered car. Nothing magical here. F-15 vs a By-Plane. So they let a F-15 jet powered plane race a By -plane combustion piston powered. But honestly it was probably done as a stunt. Just to have a GM beat a King Ford. 😂 This race should have never really been allowed.
