I was at the last Molson GrandNationals in Montreal. What a crazy place it was to race at. Same race Shirley went over the guard rail.Bob Glidden had his Ford Fairmont there. Not one piece of sheet metal lined up right. The saying on the back was "She ain't pretty but she sure can cook". He was right there. I would watch Grumpy start the Vega up I think it was. While idling he would put his finger on the carburetor vents. Shake his head and pull the carburetors back off and into the trailer they went. They would do big burn outs and numerous dry hops. Pull the wheels off the ground on every shift and they were the same car you owned or could buy.
It was my favorite class. Plenty of personality to go around.
