I was 11 watching bob win his last event live on TNN he was always my favorite of all-time and that had me tearin up a lot just loved watching him have one last slice of spotlight
Look I'm on tv. I was lucky enough to be there in the stands at Pomona and later on be on a top fuel team wrenching. I miss the good old days sometimes!
No question NHRA covered up the nitrous pumping Mopars. Glidden's son said it had to be as his father Bob went from domination the class to...not qualifying. Then suddenly, all of the Mopars vanished from pro stock.
I heard a story that NHRA suspected Bob Glidden was cheating and made him strip his engine down and they discovered a nitrous related part or something running through the oil pan. There's a reason why he was dominating pro stock and it wasn't just his "secret" intake manifold. I don't know, just saying.
@@WLAs_Finest3x I do not concede that Glidden was cheating. The Mopars were as one can see the carburation fires at the starting line. But they all hid the intakes as that was a big technological difference in their performance.
After 95 the mopars kept coming. Larry Nance, Allen johnson, Alderman, Morgan. You have your facts wrong. There were more than ever because Mopar wanted to clear their name. Don't forget that Kurt Johnson was the first in the 6 second range. Not to mention that Warren was running faster than the Mopars at many of the races. If the Mopars were cheating than everyone else was too. Billy Glidden and Jerry Eckman proved that. Warren and Kurt were never caught. Do you really thibk Greg Anderson wasn't cheating all those years of domination? Come on man. He leaves Warren and Kurt Johnson and magically has more power than anyone and they start to lose their power? Imagine if they would have claimed him to be cheating. It would come back on them because he was on their team for 10 plus years. So if Greg was then they were too.
@@artartful854 carbonation fires is your reasoning for believing in a cheating scandal? Apparently you haven't been around race cars very much. Carburetor fires are a common thing.
@@snake5305 Well the subject is carburetor fires and I have been racing since the 60s and been to dozens of all kinds of drag racing. A carb fire is usually a small short fire burning only the gas sitting on the manifold plane and on the carb. itself. However, the Dodges experienced explosions with a huge ball of fire looking just like a nitrous fire another fire I have seen many times.
does anyone know why other nhra seasons were (apparently) recently deleted? i had a playlist from 90-96 & i just noticed only drag racing 91 is listed.

I wish Larry Dixon, Dean Skuza and Gary Scelzi were still racing.
85th victory for Bob Glidden.
40:25, the infamous alleged nitrous backfire. 57:02, the break-in that no one I know believes wasn't an inside job.
@jim NFL 316 A few gullible people might believe that.
