Default 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.....
