Pro Stock's BEST era, in my humble opinion. Can I get an amen?

Amen,,, the decade of the 70s was my favorite time period of Pro Stock without a doubt.Even with the weight break fiascos, the factory politics, NHRA rules revisions, driver and team changes and even brand swaps(Bob), it was great following along with the innovations and competition that was provided by that generation of Pro Stock racers.
I've had the Grumpy's Toys book for some time now, and I'd recommend it for anyone. I wish they'd do one for Glidden and the Mopars of Sox & Martin and Landy.

I'm sure Linda is deeply saddened, as it seems her and Bill were lifelong friends.
