Re: Bob Glidden of stock Elim.
Jim Boudreau, Jim Marshall. Larry Hill. Those 3 get my vote. I'll let the
members pick. J.R. |
Re: Bob Glidden of stock Elim.
I agree with those three but don't forget the Sorensen Bros.
|
Re: Bob Glidden of stock Elim.
I’ll nominate Steve Wann. No one works harder.

Re: Bob Glidden of stock Elim.
There are probably at least ten "Mad Dog" racers in Stock Eliminator.

Re: Bob Glidden of stock Elim.
The Line family!

Re: Bob Glidden of stock Elim.
West Coast has guys with the Big Ring as well as the East Coast. My votes for the West Coast National Champs! All of them!!
Several quality Stock racers that don?t post here. |

Woodrow Josey.

Kevin Helms, Jody Lang, Joe Santangelo

Re: Bob Glidden of stock Elim.
Steve Wann!!
A formidable competitor and does all his own work! A Heck of a Nice Guy who goes out of his way to help whoever asks. He has saved my Bacon more times than I can count. |
Re: Bob Glidden of stock Elim.
If you aren't limited to currently active racers, it would certainly be Fletcher.

Re: Bob Glidden of stock Elim.
If you add in Pro Appearance and attitudes, to all the decades of hard work (and the titles earned to prove it), you cannot leave out those boys from Pasadena, TX The Emmons Family!
Harvey prepped them and taught the triplets right, and they ran with the ball straight for the end zone! Just my 2 cents looking back over time. |

Re: Bob Glidden of stock Elim.
Lots of worthy candidates mentioned here but we need to consider Allison Doll also, her 2019 World Championship run speaks to her qualifications. Anyone out there overly anxious to line up against her? Or Cooter for that matter?

Re: Bob Glidden of stock Elim.
Glidden was someone that did it all, so my vote goes to someone that does it all as well....
Steve Wann |
Re: Bob Glidden of stock Elim.
Candidate needs to have raced some controversial cars and been successful
Raced with their family and did majority of work themselves World Champion Wife with him at the track whenever he ran switched brands and kept right on winning Only one that comes close is Big Bad David Barton..... Controversial- 65 A990 Hemi Carp Coronet Switched to Late model Challenger and we all remember the story at Indy and threats after no 1 qualifier Built a Copo and that after a few world champ finishes continues to tune at the top of the category... just an fyi - Mark Pawuk world champ FSS car this season is the original Carp Challenger built and raced by Dave and Ray and engine still built and tuned by them. Family effort With that said NO ONE wlll ever come close to Bob. Rest in peace Mad Dog, your work ethic was an inspiration..... https://youtu.be/kk583-NHMpI |

As drivers, many of the racers here qualify.as for tuner/ driver Jim Boudreau is top on my list,worked for him for 28 years none better. As for engine builder/ tuner/ driver, none better than Jason Line.

Re: Bob Glidden of stock Elim.
They all pay tribute to Glidden, none can remotely imitate him. To even be mentioned in this thread is an honor.
|
Re: Bob Glidden of stock Elim.
When it comes to performance he is the guy everybody mentions for years. Hardest working man in sportsman drag racing. He does everything him self.
STEVE WANN |

Jeff and Charlie Taylor!

Re: Bob Glidden of stock Elim.
Bob Glidden was a racer who had a great run of World Championships, and Indy Championships. Plus he and his family did it all on their own. The closest race who has done that in Stock in my opinion is Kevin Helms.

Re: Bob Glidden of stock Elim.
How about Mark Yacavone or Billy Nees ; frequently coming up with new and different combinations in stock and making them win?

Re: Bob Glidden of stock Elim.
I know they have slowed down just a bit but the Wenzel Bros also need to be recognized.
Isn't Stock Eliminator too cool? It's the core of sportsman racing. |
