Pro Stock at St. Louis

[Ed Wright]

Cracked cylinder gasket? What is that? Do you mean head gasket? First, how do you know that? Second, he ran as well that weekend as I had ever seen him run at that time. He was qualified well. I heard it bang on a couple of different start ups in his pit area that weekend. Leaking head gaskets will slow you down.

Everything Rusty Glidden did at that time has been looked at over and over. Do you really think everybody is too stupid to catch that now? Really? Evidently you don't actually go to national events and hang around the pro Stock pits. Other than Anderson's and Johnson's, guys are walking in and out of each other's pits all the time. Between rounds the scoop if laying right there in plain sight for everybody to see. The strut-type scoop mounts, which were supposeldy used to get the nitrous up to the scoop, are not used much anymore. Mike's is just held on with two dzus buttons, nothing else connected to the scoop. I go in his pits at any national events I run, and to his shop just outside of Tulsa here. There is NOTHING there!! I have watched Mike change engines at the track, even helped at times. There is NOTHING there!

Since you obviously know so much, just how much nitrous to you spray in one to only pick up one or two hundredths? Not tenths as one guy was saying, there aint no tenths in NHRA Pro Stock.

As far as Wayne County, nobody really knows. It does look very suspicious that they could never make it run again, and those blocks could have been repaired. I feel like there was something there, but I wont proclaim them cheaters because I don't know for sure.

Jerry Eckman? I don't think he should be allowed back in the gates. He actually crews a car right now.

If Mike wins again this week, he will the quiet squirels, sorry I meant quiet his detractors? How? Did you see how much faster he was last session? Guess the key board racers will think he sprayed it again? Probably.

It amazes me that so many will post crap about something have absolutely no knowlege.
I have opinions about the space shuttle, but...

Lets just say that cheating like the Dodge Boys was just like stealing. I have first hand knowledge about the Wayne County boys and where it was hidden. I also have knowledge about Rusy Gliddens (He was caught at Atlanta and caused problems in Bob and Ettas marrage.....Bob went ballistic) deal and how it was done. No BS just fact. When I was working for IHRA I was very close to the guy who actually caught the Dodge boys (at INDY) and NHRA made him keep it quiet and covered it up. He depended on me to help him a lot at IHRA National events back in the old days so he trusted me. The system was VERY stealth and required a LOT of work to install and hide. It required "Rifle drilling" the blocks, etc,He was for a time.......the head Tech director at IHRA ( he told NHRA to F##K off and quit) when the IHRA was based in Bristol Tenn. He also worked for the Mustang racing association after he quit the IHRA. Does that give you a clue of who Im talking about? I personally caught a similar system on a Pro Stock car at Bristol Tenn. like Rusty's set up. It was very small and mounted in the hood scoop then activated by R/Control at about the 1000 ft mark by a crew member. Don Gartlis once told me when he was still running Top Fuel "Show me a man who isnt cheating and I will show you a man who isnt winning". After 22 years with IHRA and 2 1/2 years with NHRA I could tell some stories you would not believe but I wont on this forum for reasons you should know already..

This is the forth version I've heard, everybody has the inside scoop and the facts first hand. I don't know who is right, so I won't throw out any accusations.

Your Glidden story varies quite a bit from others I have heard. You sure Rusty was caught, and didn't just show it to them to prove it could be done?

NHRA officials and several racers saw Eckman's deal, so I have little doubt about that one.

YEP.....why do you think his money man quit racing? This was before his divorce of course and a very long time ago. Things get "Clouded" over the years and NHRA hides the truth if it affects them. Can you say Wayne County !.
