Drag Racing 1987 NHRA US Nationals PRO STOCK Final

[@NeilLB7]

Was Alderman running Nitrous in the Chevy too? LOL That generation of Thunderbird was the best looking Pro-Stock car ever created to this day. It looks fast sitting still.

NeilLB7 If Wayne County had been using the bottle, I’d hope they would have run faster than that! I think they did it with the Mopars to make them more competitive. Shame NHRA just turned their heads for so long.

[@davidgraham7325]

The Mopars were on gas but they must not have drank enough to deal with Bob

[@ericabercrombie6780]

Bob Glidden when interviewed said this was his favorite racecar of all time

[@rogerbeutler5671]

Never be another like Bob.

[@sorshiaemms5959]

BOB S THE BEST AND THUNDERBIRD MY FAVORITE CAR

[@matthewnosal6893]

Big Block Ford getting it done!!! Rip Mr Glidden.

[@Gump-tion]

Tell me that baby didn't hit a beautiful sounding note at high rev just before that tree went green!

[@Joetrout]

ivydude13 amazing! U just dont get that anymore. Hearing bob say in a interview he would barely have his foot on the clutch an would just let it slip off is badass itself!

[@Ford_Raptor_R_720hp_V8]

*These were Definitely the Good Old Days.* *When no one else could even Qualify a Ford, Bob Glidden Routinely Qualified #1*

[@bobbybieln853]

Class act the whole family !!!!!!!

[@Dld1985]

Absolutely one of the greatest drag racers ever.

[@grabbber]

Bob Glidden was such a professional a true gentlemen …...Chevy guys are usually punks.

[@Joetrout]

They are still butt hurt from all the years of gliddens butt kickin!

[@TJ-qz6hr]

There’s a few of them punks, here in the comment section.

Great days before GM took over the NHRA.

[@davidgraham7325]

Simply the best 👌

[@rono3045]

I don't think he had a big block under the hood I think it was a 351 cleve baby the Chevy guys are more afraid of that small block and they are a big block Ford. Even now in 2020 they still fear that motor. 😁

[@chadkent1241]

82 the sanctioning body switched to the 500 in³ rule. Bob dusted off the BOSS 429 and turned a circle track engine into a 1/4 monster. Side note, Bob was undefeated in his Fairmont which was Cleveland powered

[@MichaelMBarnes-f7b]

One Ford was all it took to be a pain for GM.

[@atmattfolk]

Its a Hemi Chevrolet Power ForEver Chevrolet pretty bad ass to keep up with Hemis.

[@chadkent1241]

Um what?? Bob used a punched out ford boss 9 that smoked both the dodges and chevys of the era. Warren Johnson developed the DRCE because of Bobs dominant Fords....
