Didn't Bob Glidden go undefeated in a season? How would Garlits have had the record with 6 wins in a season? Dave must have been referring to nitro categories.

He was referring to just top fuel, and no, Bob didn't go undefeated in a season. You're probably thinking of his 1978 Ford Fairmont. That car was undefeated, but he debuted it at the Summernationals.

I was wondering what happened to this race. You originally uploaded it into parts. I had saved this to a playlist and saw it was gone.

Sorry to have scared you, I have recently verified my account so I can upload longer videos. I will probably do the same with a few more videos as well.

Calvin Walker it seems like you’re in a competition now. Competition Plus on here is uploading full races from the past.

Calvin Walker oh I no. I’m just joking. I believe they know how much we love the classic races and miss how drag racing was once. Yes today is different but a lot of us still love it. I think cause with the cost of stuff to run makes it tough for the smaller teams to afford to race, the many sponsors that are no longer around (I remember my dad & uncles having friendly banter with members of our camp whenever a Budweiser and Miller sponsored car would face off with each other), the less amount of multiple car teams (I understand why there’s a lot today with not many sponsors around some drivers have to join a team to get a ride), the commentary team (Steve Evans & Dave McClelland were a great combo as well as Steve with Brock Yates & Don Garlits on the American Sports Cavalcade), and of course the battle of manufactures (I miss when Ford, Oldsmobile, Chevy, Dodge, Pontiac would battle out. Now Chevy runs pro stock and pro stock motorcycle looks to be mainly Harley)
