Kevin,
Thanks for posting this info,I'm glad that a correction is in works, like I said I did'nt really catch it the first time I looked at it then the second time I noticed it,so then I had look it over again before I posted this threaded to make sure I had'nt overlooked it somehow.

Glidden had 10 champoinships,is that correct? I don't remember ever hearing of him having any sportsman championships?

Seems like Sherman Adcock should be on there for 2 also.

Tis the reason I had to give up my subscription after 45 years.
The "racers" on staff there can now have a meeting in a Ford Focus.:confused:

Good reaction from National Dragster......IMO, it is difficult to track everything prior to the computer age (which Glidden was). I look forward to the correction.

Don't think Bob was pre-computer. Think 85-89 were his final five. Company gave me my first portable computer in 83 if you can call a 26lb Kaypro portable. Just one (or two) of those mistakes that happen when collecting data, I guess.

Proof-reading is a thankless and tiresome task and know that mistakes happen.
Yup, looking forward to it Kevin, thanks!

I can't see how this is possible. So NHRA does not have records of past champions that they car refer to. Very sad. Our old champions deserve better. A sign of the times I guess.

Happy Thanksgiving,

My hat is humbly off for you then, Mr. McKenna, and glad it was only a mistake, something we all make from time to time.

No matter how long you been @ it when you start putting together a list as big and over as many years as World champions,it would be easy to leave someone or something out,
alot of times it will one of simplest or most obvious things on your list,that gets forgotten,at least thats the way it goes when I'm making a list or estimate.
