Everyone can love him or hate him, but I have always had 1000% respect for WJ. Even as a die hard Bob Glidden fan.

The reason the haters hate is just what you said: He has ALWAYS had a realistic point of view regarding PS and racing in general. When he's pissed, he doesn't mince words.




No.......and I don't hate him either.
But I will never be a fan because of how he treated me when I asked him a question back in 1981 or so when he was shoeing for Jerome Bradford.
He can be a colossal jerk.
I do respect his knowledge and his accomplishments too , but as a person he is a two legged turd in my book.
I met Ronnie Sox that same weekend ......he was pedaling a Mustang for Dean Thompson. The difference between the two was stunning.
Anyone who has met Ronnie will know exactly what I am talking about... I have never met a friendlier person in a pro pit.
Warren was even local to us , and cut his teeth racing around here.
But a little arrogance goes a long way.
