Who's coming to Indy for the Div 3 LODRS?

Travis Miller · 03-22-2010, 08:13 AM

Bob Glidden will be the Grand Marshall for the NHRA Division 3 season opener of the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series at O’Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis April 23-25.

While Glidden is known mainly for his long and successful career in Pro Stock, his first NHRA points meet win came at Indy in 1968 racing Stock Eliminator. That's right, Bob Glidden was one of us! That win at Indy was not to be his only Indy points meet win before turning Pro. In 1971 he won Super Stock at the Indy points meet.

Naming Bob Glidden as Grand Marshall of the season opening race is the beginning of a new promotional push by Division 3 to promote the LODRS. The event has been titled the NHRA LUCAS OIL SPRING SPECTACLE OF SPEED.

Nitro lounge and the Scratcher gang will be there. BTW, this will be the parents 46th year of NHRA drag racing, not bragging cause their my parents but wow that's a long time.

Hope it's not snowing this year, lol.

Travis - Got any idea what Mr. Glidden was driving when he won Stock in '68 ? BTW, nice tribute to him and D3 ...........

Jack, I believe Bob was racing his B/S 1965 Galaxie powered by a 427/425 sponsored by Ed Martin Ford.
