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. Mike Taylor 3601 |

IMO Billy Glidden is racing where the ROI exposure is at, with Bob helping out when he's able. That is also where Ford is putting their money, like the NMRA, where they sell parts $.20 for ever dollar spent on NHRA F/C program. Glidden killed everyone before all the fluff money came in, and only got better when Ford started backing him. IMO the Ford program died when Glidden left Pro Stock. So with Ford pulling out of NHRA's "golden goose" race team, why would it be such a surprise for NHRA to overlook him? JF is a salesman, Glidden is not, but was a pure racer who won through thick and thin, and didn't need NHRA to do it. While JF continues to sell NHRA despite them needing him more than he needs them, this just proves again how much smarter Glidden was by never kissing up to them.
