My dad met Glidden back in the 70s unrelated to racing but became friends through racing and it was always cool to go to Seattle and meet up with Bob for my dad. He was always happy to see my dad and we'd stand to the side and just watch the family work super intense guy but always nice.

I was 5 yrs old going to OCIR with dear old dad. Dad would never miss a race so I didnt either. Just awesome vid. Thanks for this.✌👍

glidden is the man :) always enjoy seeing his races. nitro classes of the early 70s are also a joy to watch. not so much parts shredding.

So cool to see the the people that still ran big-block Chevys, and were "some what" competitive.
Mondello & Matsibura, Jungle Jim etc., ruled.

National Trail: The O.G. No Prep 😅 When did the wall at the end of the track come down and allow the farm field shenanigans?

Funny that Butch Leal slams the door on his pushers arm/hand after failing to run.
