Jerry Eckman reinstated by NHRA
 

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with Stock and Super Stock, but I thought some may be interested. I believe Jerry took the fall for all the 90s ProStock "cheating" that was happening then. I don't think anyone believes that Eckman and Orndorff were the only ones doing it (besides the obvious: Wayne County "Break in"). I always liked Jerry and it's good to see him back on the track.

You need to remember the Dodge boys said those hood scoop fires were from broken distributor gears. If you believe that I got some ocean front property in central Texas!!!!

Oh I remember, Ed. The one I heard was that a lifter bar broke. Ummmm ......... yeah whatever !!!!
I was a huge fan of that team and I felt really ripped off when that whole thing went down and they "couldn't recover". I pretty much lost interest in Pro Stock at that point. I was really sorry to see what happened to Eckman. I'm sure it wasn't just those two teams who were using "enhancements" either. I'd LOVE to think that WJ was squeezing the bottle too !!!

As I recall Bob Glidden was one of the FEW who wouldn't spray, and paid a performance price for his diligence.

If Warren Johnson had been playing with giggle gas, Alderman wouldn't have any championships.

I seem to recall, Tim,, that Bob was really ticked when he found out one of his boys, Billy, I presume,, hid some nitrous just to prove he could get it past the tech guys. He came clean afterwards,,, rumor was that the NOS wasn't on the car but in the driver's suit. Another urban legend??? I'm sure someone has the story memorized, but the details escape me,,, but it was very entertaining at the time.

I think it was Billy, I believe he was one of the first 10 or so to run in the sixes?

Re: Jerry Eckman reinstated by NHRA
 

Billy did it, to prove to Bob that it could be done. It has been concealed in several places.
