WJ, Darrell Alderman, Bruce Allen, Butch Leal... Wow. I miss these days. Thank you for posting this.

[@sswcustomsewing4276]

Darrell Alderman that is a name I have not heard in years. Thanks again 👍

These Videos remind us of Traditional Drag Racing without all the Electronics

Bob Glidden will forever be the King of Ford drag racing. He and Ford entries are missed as leaders in the field of Pro Stock 2023.

I guess the Wayne County speed shop was still figuring out the nitrous......

[@tarasbulba3190]

The Dodge was torn down and inspected after every victory. If you were there like I was, you'd know that. Sorry to ruin your wet dream.

[@markbeech3455]

Give it a rest, they were torn down several times and nothing found. Why don’t you ask Jerry Eckman how he fared with the inspection.

[@burningblue1254]

@@markbeech3455 Billy and Bob Glidden setup the nitrous and it passed inspection. Just to show how it could be done.

[@jaylamb9546]

@@burningblue1254 yeah put it didn’t prove Wayne County was doing it, just that it could be done. Also from what I understand it backfired on Bob , a lot of the other drivers wanted nothing to do with him after that.

[@burningblue1254]

@@jaylamb9546 True enough, nothing got proven and theories are not enough.

[@elliottmagnum4998]

Alderman was just getting started. No nitrous needed with mopar power and Wayne County. And Jerry haus.

[@burningblue1254]

Both Alderman and Eckman ran nitrous.

WJ knew he was beat from the get-go so he broke out the fake mechanical problems routine lol

[@georgebabcock569]

No gloves on Bob

[@matthewjones5450]

well darrell only used the nitrous in his cage when it was truley needed lol

Ford,Glidden=First

[@bulta209]

Yet his most successful year was 1979 driving a small block Mopar powered Plymouth Arrow. Pretty funny isn't it.

[@joefell7845]

@@bulta209 maybe they didn't handicap him as bad that year ???

[@theflyingscotsman9902]

@@bulta209 a Ford guy showing the dudges how to get their motors to go ! Yes its hilarious !!😂😂😂

[@Mike-kn6uh]

His most successful year was 78 in the Fairmont, never lost a round. The Plymouth arrow had a Hemi in it, not a small block. Glidden went back to ford and proceeded to misery to the Chrysler and Gm camps.
