Notes: Ran Bristol IHRA 1980 without weight and big motor. Bob Glidden had just sold his Arrow and was running this Fairmont for the first time at Suffolk in April for a match race against Bill Jenkins. It’s not clear if the cars were at legal weight or not, but judging by the times, I would say that they were light. Glidden won the first two races with times of 8.35/158 and 8.37/158. "Grumpy Jenkins" ran his best time in the last race, an 8.51/153 that beat the Fairmont's 8.66/155. Bob liked what he saw in IHRA and supported them by running at Bristol for the Springnationals on May 18. He qualified #5 with an 8.3 run and lasted until the second round when his 8.37 lost to Rickie Smith's 8.19. | There were two different cars that you are making reference to. The car that ran at Suffolk against Jenkins was the old '78 Fairmont that Bob ran because he already sold his Fairmont and the "new' Fairmont wasn't delivered yet. The other part of the info is correct. - Ariel Cordero |
