Indy Highlights

I'm betting 1976 on this one,,,,I was going through my SS&DI collection recently and came across this story. Sorry I'm at work,,or I'd run upstairs and confirm it for you since my mags are at home. Danny Durham

I'm also thinking that Glidden ran the longer wheelbase 70' Mustang in 75' as did Dyno and came back the next year with the Monza, which ended up with Lingenfelter. I remember seeing the Monza out here at Seattle after John got it and was amazed at how much Duct Tape was holding the frontend together! It was a rough looking piece at that time. Danny Durham

If anyone ever got to look at a car after Bob got done sorting/thrashing one out and "massaging the body panels " you would not beleive how rough they were. Neatness was not his strong point !!!! It is/was all about performance!!! comp 387

I remember that as well. I was there. I ran a '69 SS/L Camaro with one of Mike Keown's 255 HP 350's at the time.

Sept. 17, 1976 issue of National Dragster. Page 13, has a shot of them in the lanes bent over, under hood and tells of the silicone in the carb, helicopter rental and all.
