W.J. was a driving sum'itch but no one drove that era better than Bob Glidden and those T-Birds were *GORGEOUS!* There hasn't been a better looking pro stock car since! *OR BEFORE!*

If Glidden ran a .37 and Johnson a .38 why does Johnson have lane choice. From 86 on, I have everyone on Bob's wins on tape.

I was here. Maple Grove is about 30 minutes from my house. The weather was pretty chilly but the cars were flying that day because of all that good air.

I was there also and if I recall correctly Kenny Bernstein did the first 300 mph pass? Or was that the following year?

Back when Pro Stock used to be the fans favorite class! Today, most fans couldn't care less about the class. It's boring AF! Nothing but GM chivy-lets.

@@bernardboggs8734: NHRA rule changes and their BS politics is what prompted FoMoCo to pull out of the Pro Stock class. It's a waste of money for FoMoCo to put $Millions into the NHRA Pro Stock class when the rules favor GM.

It wasn't long before the NHRA rearranged this class for the GM wins. The 'Oldsmobile' was the DRCE (drag race competition engine) built just for this class.

Mr Glidden is the Reason they created the DRCE and even when he ran the Cleveland's he was unbeatable.

Look at "Pro Suck" now! Most fans couldn't care less about Pro Suck. It's boring AF. Which is precisely why the class is dying. Good job NHRA.

LOL. When I see the hairstyles of the 70's I can't help buy think "Hey it was the 70's". But the feathered back jobs of the 1980's make me think I'm looking at some smart ass jerk movie character in a Adam Sandler film. Suchas...Kurt Johnsons.
