You're right Ed.We now live in a world of wannabe's and pretenders.

Re: Some of the best rivalries...
 

Bobby Warren vs Garley Daniels ...........seriously one of the all time top 5 list (1 )

loved to watch these two battle

Re: Some of the best rivalries...
 

L.A. Lee and Tex Miller You should have seen Tex deck him at Englishtown one. It was great!

Re: Some of the best rivalries...
 

I agree with Ed; a few that like to flap their lips.

It was both kids that did it. They told Bob that others were doing it and Bob told them there was no way it could be hidden.
The kids proved him wrong; Rusty drove the car to a few races and qualified in the top. Bob told NHRA to show them what was taking place; it appears that NHRA had turned their heads away and at the end Bob was the one that paid the consequences.

After that, there was a Yellow Firebird that had an explosion and suddenly there was a break-in in a shop on the town of Fairfield, Illinois.

I have enjoyed the pleasure of talking to Bob and he has always been a nice guy and have even shared some of his knowledge. Bob can make power on any engine and he demonstrated it when he raced the Plymouth Arrow with the small block.

This is not taking away from Lee Shepperd; great driver and also a great cylinder head porter. Sad to say, but our sport lost many innovators in the class such as Lee, Don Carlton and John Hagen.

Re: Some of the best rivalries...
 

I need to proof read first....that was W.A. Lee and Tex Miller. It was still great!

Re: Some of the best rivalries...
 

After re-reading the story again, you are correct, it was both of Bob's sons that were the ones who installed it on the Probe P/S at the time, and Rusty was the driver...then the breakin happened, and shortly after Jerry Eckman's team was caught using it.

Re: Some of the best rivalries...
 

Shepard versus Glidden. I'm a chevy guy, and I don't believe Bob was spraying. He was smart. So was Lee. Good battles.

Re: Some of the best rivalries...
 

Yes both were smart however Lee was a hell of a lot better driver. Holeshotted Bob pretty much every time they raced and Bob would sometimes catch him right at the traps after spraying him with NOS. Go back and watch the old footage to see for yourself. Happy Holidays!!

Re: Some of the best rivalries...
 

Some of us have already called you out on this Glidden slander, you must think like many who believe a lie repeated often enough is the truth. There's no doubt Lee was an outstanding driver so why not just stick with praising him and lay off Bill....

Re: Some of the best rivalries...
 

You got to quit sniffing NOS...nobody is taking away from Lee Shepherd's driving.
Grow up and quit making unsubstantiated accusations.
I will bet you would not have the slightest idea on how a car behaves with Nitrous either at launch or top end.
