Boy I only wish we could still have race coverage like Diamond P did years ago. No more Paul Page would be a great starting point. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

The video maker( Ford lover ) stated that Bob's 1979 Fairmont was undeafed, I think he means Bobs 1979 Plymouth Arrow was undefeated I'm almost sure Bob raced the Arrow in 1979 and part of 1980 until Mopar went B.K. the first time maybe not Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

The previous year the Fairmont did go undefeated.

A J's looked worse at the time, that car spun like a top and then over the concrete rail. 99 gators, remember it like yesterday. Gliddens was almost in slow motion by comparison. Worst ones I ever saw were Cory Mac and Doug Herbert...both on the top end and both at Rockingham WIZE World's Quickest Diahatsu Rocky (??) 414" Stroker Small block Mopar Powered. 10.84 @ 123...and gettin' quicker! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mWzLma3YGI In Car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjXcf95e6v0
