Some of the best rivalries...

Glidden vs Shepherd for sure. The only way Glidden could ever get around Lee's holeshot was to spray him. Cheater finally got caught.

Don't think that Bob Glidden was caught spraying. That was one of his boys (Rusty?).

I'm pretty sure that it was Billy Glidden that got caught using nitrous...

Yeah maybe he wasn't caught spraying but to get around Lee's holeshots he definantly was spraying...ala jumping out of his wrecked car to coverup his intake/carbs/motor in Atlanta.

Like others don't cover their manifolds, yea right. You obviously don't know crap about Glidden.

Or other Pro Stock racers. They all pretty much keep stuff covered up. Anybody that would tell something like that about Bob Glidden knows nothing about him. It's sad someone would make an accusation like that.

And I think it was Billy, not Rusty.

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.
