Digging for info - front drum explosion on 727s
A Glide is the right choice in a light and high HP race car.
It is also cheaper to build for racing.
How many glides do you own?
I have raced several over the years.
I used to own Reed Whisant's (Sic) Old Pro Stock Arrow.
It had a 526 Bl in it and ran 8.21 @ 167 with a Glide at our bumpy old Vegas
track about 30 years ago. I had a couple of old Pro Stock Arrows.
I think that might have been the Arrpw that I sold to Brian at
Indio Machine Shop who still builds some of the very best Small
Block Mopars.
I also raced an A/ED with a glide in the mid 70's and a couple others
not as noteworthy.
