Notes: The team had a good year but could not get past the top four racers in the class. Don qualified #5 at Columbus for the NHRA Springnationals with a 7.84/175.78. He ran another 7.84 at 171.42 in the opening round to beat Ronnie Manchester's 8.07/168. He faced low qualifier Lee Shepherd in round two, and Lee's Camaro had ignition problems that slowed him to 8.68/119 while Coonce advanced with a 7.89/171.10. In the semifinal, he slowed to a 7.92/175.09 that lost to Frank Iaconio's 7.83/173. He competed at the NHRA Grandnationals in Canada, where he qualified #5 in the eight-car field. That set up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Bob Glidden. Don upset Glidden in their race; in the semifinal, he lost to the eventual winner Shepherd. He also lost to Shepherd at the NHRA Summernationals held at Englishtown in mid-July. Coonce qualified #4 with a 7.87/174.75. He ran the same numbers in round one, while beating Bubba Corzine's 7.94/173. In round two, the speed remained the same, but his ET was 7.88, which was still good enough to defeat Johnny Dowey's 7.89/174. But he fouled against Shepherd in the semifinal. Shortly after that, he was at Denver for the NHRA Mile High Nationals. This was an eight-car field, and he qualified #5 with an 8.33/166.23. in the opening round, he fouled away an 8.38 against low qualifier Glidden, who advanced at 8.16. Don's next stop was at Martin, Michigan, for the PHR Championships. It was another eight-car field, and his 7.79/174.08 qualified #3. In round one, Dowey's 7.96/173 fell to his 7.85/171.10, but he fouled against eventual winner Iaconio in the semifinal. Best times of 7.732 at Fremont and 180.72 at OCIR (7.738).

Notes: Don qualified #6 at the NHRA Winternationals with a 7.75/178.92. In the opening round, his 7.84176.47 beat Gordie Riveria's 7.95/173. He lasted until the second round before his 7.89/176.47 lost to Lee Shepherd's 7.78/177. At the NHRA Gatornationals, a great 7.66/182.18 qualified #3. He beat Rich Marino's Camaro in the first round with a 7.69/181.08. In round two, a 7.78/179.99 beat Reid Whisnant's 7.89/175. But in the semifinals, his 7.77/180.36 lost to Frank Iaconio's 7.75/179. Still, this good performance moved him into fifth place in the NHRA points standings. He qualified #3 again at the next NHRA event, the Southern Nationals in Atlanta. This time a 7.74 got him the spot. Unfortunately, he broke on the line in the first round against Joe Lepone. He really shook up the troops at the NHRA Cajun Nationals. A 7.676/184.42 (Top Speed) qualified #2 and set the national speed record. Jerry Eckman fouled against him in the first round, and Coonce advanced with a 7.77/183.29. The car broke on the line again in the second round against Frank Iaconio. A 7.78 qualified #5 at the PHR Championships, but he lost in the first round. Don ran well throughout the year with a best ET of 7.658 in eliminations at the World Finals and 184.42 from Baton Rouge.

Notes: Don ran 7.65/180.28 to qualify #3 at Pomona for the Winternationals. In the first round, he beat Frank Sanchez with a 7.66/179.85 before losing to Ken Dondero's 7.70/176 in round two with a 7.75/178.21. At the Gatornationals, a best of 7.78/175.84 failed to crack the 7.76 bump. Don made the show at the Southern Nationals with a 7.83/176.60 qualifying #14, but he lost to Dondero in the first round. The next NHRA event was the Cajun Nationals at Baton Rouge. Coonce qualified #9 with a 7.73/180.07, but again went home early. At the Springnationals in June, he again qualified in the dreaded #9 spot with a 7.72/178.35, setting up a first-round meeting with low qualifier Bob Glidden, which he lost. Don had the same thing happen to him at the next event, the Grandnationals, where he again qualified #9 (7.63/181.81) and again lost to the low qualifier (Bruce Allen) in the first round. He qualified #9 (again!) at the Summernationals with a 7.66, and in the first round, he fouled against Glidden. It was tough to make these shows, and Coonce was doing great in qualifying, but qualifying in the ninth spot was always a bad position as you had to run the low qualifier in the first round. Don had just qualified #9 at four meets in a row. Things went better at Denver, where he ran 8.02/172.41 to qualify #3 behind Glidden and Warren Johnson.

Notes: Ken ran 7.772/178.57 to qualify #9 at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. He faced low qualifier Butch Leal in the first round, and his 7.838/178.21 finished second best to Leal's 7.71. At the NHRA Gatornationals, he qualified #7 with a 7.734/177.51. Ken had an unusual race in the first round. He raced alternate Reid Whisnant, who got into the field when Sam Carroll broke in qualifying. Dondero ran a 7.814/175.78 in their first-round race, but Reid recorded an unreal (maybe too unreal) 7.615 at only 174.41 to win. Observers suspected a rear-wheel start (the rear wheel broke the beam instead of the front). In the second round, Reid slowed to a 7.89 loss. It was a fabulously close race - Dondero's .450 to .646 holeshot meant that only .003 seconds separated the cars at the finish line! Pretty sure Ken wasn't too happy about it. And Reid's 7.615 was not equaled again on the NHRA national event trail until the end of the year when Bob Glidden duplicated it. The third NHRA event was the Southern Nationals at Atlanta, where a 7.830/178.92 qualified Ken in the #8 spot. He advanced past round one with a 7.88/176.47 when Roy Hill fouled against him. In round two, he beat Leal with a 7.833/177.51, but in the semifinals, he lost to Don Campanello., who stepped up to a 7.835 to hold off Ken's 7.869/176.47. This was another heartbreaker - Dondero again got the holeshot, .480 to .510, and the end result was a .004 second win for Campanello The next stop on the NHRA tour was at Baton Rouge for the Cajun Nationals. A 7.773/177.86 qualified #7, but a 7.886/177.16 in the opening round of eliminations lost to Mark Yuill's quick-leaving 7.945/173.07 (a margin of victory of .034 seconds). Dondero then stopped off at Capitol raceway to win its Pro Stock Shootout event. He beat Ronnie Manchester in the final. He was at Martin, Mich, for the PHR Championships, where he ran 7.73 to qualify #3. Once again, he lost out early, back on the NHRA trail for the Springnationals. He qualified #8 at 7.843/177.86. Ken won round one over Andy Mannarino (7.814/173.47 to 7.939/174.08) and made it into round two, losing to Mark Yuill again when he ran an off-pace 9-second run. Shortly after that, he picked up a win at the Super Stock Nationals held at Maple Grove. It was an eight-car show, and his 7.73/179.28 qualified #2 behind WJ's 7.69/180. Ken ran another 7.73 in the first round, to take out Joe Anderson and a semifinal 7.75 stopped the only Mopar in the show, Reid Whisnant's. He faced Don Campanello in the final, and Dondero was like a bracket racer, running 7.75/177.16 to win over Don's 7.80/174. Another second-round loss came at the NHRA Grandnationals in Canada, where Ken qualified #5 with a 7.725/180.36. Ken beat Roy Hill in round one, 7.764/179.28 to 7.89/177, but he lost to eventual winner WJ in round two, 7.720/181.81 to 7.781/178.92. He qualified third at the NHRA Summernationals with a 7.704/180.00, but he got upset in the first round, by Manchester, 7.74/177 to 7.830/177.51. He did not go to Denver. Ken qualified #9 at Brainerd with a 7.850/175.78. That put him up against Bob Glidden in round one, and Bob got the win, 7.73/178, to Ken's 7.823/177.16. At the US Nationals at Indy, his 7.778/182.55 qualified #11. In round one, Ken's 7.793/181.08 beat Butch Leal's 7.84/175. He cut a good light in round two, and his 7.822/180.00 held on to win over Joe Lepone's quicker 7.798/177 (.025 second margin of victory). His run ended in the semifinals, where Bob Glidden's 7.72 beat his 7.825/176.81. In October, he ran a 7.766/178.92 to qualify eighth at the NHRA World Finals. Amazingly, Mark Yuill got another massive holeshot on him in round one, and eeked out the win, 7.850/174.41 to 7.758/179.28 (.005 seconds margin of victory). Ken had so many close, close races that he either won or lost on holeshots. A great showing for the Panella Racing team in 1984; they finished 7th in the NHRA.

Notes: Ken ran 7.680/182.70 to qualify #7 at Pomona for the Winternationals. He beat Don Campanello in the first round with a 7.673/180.28, while in round two, his 7.703/176.40 beat Don Coonce. He lasted until the semifinal before losing to eventual winner Bob Glidden's 7.59/171 with a 7.723/176.40. At the Gatornationals, a 7.735/179.42 qualified #10, but a 7.697/178.57 lost to Warren Johnson's 7.55/183 in the first round. The next NHRA event was the Southern Nationals in Atlanta. Dondero qualified #6 with a 7.772/178.92. He beat Coonce in the first round with a 7.786/178.00, but he fouled and shut down to 10.067 in a loss to Butch Leal in round two. Ken dominated the show at Bakersfield for the March (May?) Meet. He set Low ET and Top Speed in qualifying #1 with a 7.74/183.29. A 7.84/174.41 in the first round beat Chuck Echmalian, and a semifinal 7.83/182.18 advanced when Harry Scribner fouled. He beat Jerry Eckman's 7.86/174 with a 7.79/182 for the victory in the final. Ken qualified #8 with a 7.714/178.42 at the Cajun Nationals. A 7.805/176.40 in the first round defeated Frank Sanchez, who got out of shape. He then beat Tony Christian in round two with a 7.883/161.00 after putting more than a one-tenth of a second holeshot on Tony. In the semifinal, his 7.786/177.65 lost to WJ's 7.62/181. Ken slipped a little further down the qualifying list at the Springnationals, only qualifying #15 with a 7.768/173.67. Bill Jenkins was tuning here. In round one, his 7.893/173.94 lost to Gordie Rivera's 7.843/176. Ken went to Maple Grove for the Super Stock Magazine Nationals the following week (June 23). It was an eight-car show, and he qualified #3 with a 7.78. Another 7.78 in the first round beat Nick Nikolis' 7.81. In the semifinals, he ran a consistent 7.79/177.51 but lost to WJ's 7.65/180. Ken went to Canada for the Grandnationals, where he ran a 7.718/180.57 to qualify #15. In the first round, he lost to Dempsey Hardy's 7.75/176 with a 7.77/171.36. At the Summernationals, a 7.723/179.14 qualified #12. He broke against Gordie Rivera in the first round. That was followed by a trip to Denver for the Mile High Nationals, where he qualified #11 with an 8.117/171.42. In the first round, his 8.165/171.75 lost to Coonce's 8.061/169.81. The next stop on the NHRA calendar was at Brainerd for the Northstar Nationals. Dondero qualified #12 with a 7.800/180.36. In round one, he improved to 7.721/179.28 to beat Gene Fasching. In round two, Christian's 7.732/179.64 beat his 7.793/174.75. Everybody was at Indy for the NHRA U.S. Nationals, and Ken barely made the show. His 7.761/181.52 qualified on the "bump." He went home early when he fouled away a 7.795/176.95 in the first round against Frank Iaconio. Ken swapped into Ronnie Manchester's car for a few late-season races. He was driving this car at Maple Grove for the NHRA Keystone Nationals. Twenty-nine cars were attempting to qualify, and his 7.626/181.52 qualified #10. Despite running well, a 7.671/179.49 in the first round lost to WJ's 7.57/183. According to our records, Ken was back in the Dondero car at the Phoenix Fallnationals. He qualified #3 at 7.670/179.28. Ken best Gordie Rivera in round one, 7.766/177.86 to 8.355/130.43. In round two, he beat Frank Sanchez, 7.756/178.21 to 7.866/176.12. In the semis, Bob Glidden got the better of Ken, 7.671/180.36 to 7.804/177.86. Ken was driving a Trans Am at the World Finals at Pomona. We must validate whether this was the Ronnie Manchester car or a new Panella machine. He qualified #3 at 7.635/181.30. He broke in round one, but Dave Hutchens fouled, so Ken advanced. In round two, he beat Pete Smith, 7.721/179.71 to 7.867/178.07. Ken lost a close one to Bruce Allen in the semis, 7.652/181.23 to 7.678/180.21. We are listing the Finals times with the Ronnie Manchester car for now, but we need confirmation. The Camaro's validated best NHRA times were at Pomona at 7.673/182.70, and the Bakersfield 183.29 was its fastest speed. At this time, we are listing the 7.670 from Phoenix with this car, although there is a possibility there was a new Dondero Trans Am that should get those times, plus those from the World Finals. Who can answer this mystery?

Notes: After a very trying year in '82 with the EXP that was actually built with the intent that there would still be weight factors, Bob was happy to be in a new Hardy-built longer wheelbase Thunderbird. He had only been able to win one race (NHRA Springnationals) in '82 and was looking to do much better in '83. He debuted the car at the NHRA Winternationals, where he qualified #1 with a 7.826/177.86. A first-round 7.86/174.75 beat Bubba Corzine and a 7.93/166.97 advanced in round two when Lee Shepherd fouled. In the semifinals, a 7.88/176.81 beat Roy Hill and in the final, Bob slowed to a 7.99/174.41 that lost to Frank Iaconio's 7.81/175. At the second NHRA event of '83, the Gatornationals, a 7.74/176.81 qualified #7. He beat Ronnie Manchester in the first round, with a 7.75/175.78 and a 7.80/179.41 in round two, beat Carlton Phillips' 7.88/173. In the semifinal, Shepherd beat his 7.79/175.78 with a 7.66/181. At the NHRA Southern Nationals on April 17, Glidden failed to qualify for the eight-car field. He was the first alternate at 7.90/174.41. That was the last time that Glidden would fail to qualify for an NHRA race for a long, long time. At the Cajun Nationals, a 7.77/178.92 qualified #4. A 7.87/176.81 defeated Rickie Smith's similar T-Bird in the opening round. He fell to Iaconio's 7.84/176 in the semifinal with an off-pace,8.01/154.10.Glidden showed up at Columbus with a new Arias/Root aluminum block in the car.The engine weighed 75lbs less than the stock block he had been using.That meant that he could shift 75 lbs towards the back of the car instead of having the weight over the front wheels. Using it, he qualified #2 at the NHRA Springnationals with a 7.78/177.51. A first-round 7.81 advanced when Roy Hill's Capri broke, and Reid Whisnant fouled against him in round two. Bob motored to a 7.81/177.16 for the win. In the semifinals, he faced Butch Leal, and his 7.85/177.51 beat Leal's 7.92/173. He was up against Iaconio in the final. The two reversed the outcome of the Winternationals with Bob's 7.79/178.21 (Top Speed) taking the victory over Frank's 7.83/174.This was his 36 NHRA National event victory. At the NHRA Grandnationals, Glidden set Low ET and Top Speed in qualifying #1 with a 7.72/179.64. Unfortunately, he fouled against Don Coonce in the opening round. He was the #3 qualifier at Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals with a 7.75/179.28 (Top Speed and a track record). A first-round 7.79/177.51 advanced over a fouling Rickie Smith, but in the second round, he shut off with tire shake, and he slowed to 11.78 in a loss to Leal's 8.04. He won the NHRA Mile High Nationals at the end of July. There he qualified #1 at 8.14/172.41. Don Coonce fouled against him in the first round, and Bob advanced with an 8.16/170.77. In the semifinals, his 8.11/172.41 beat Warren Johnson's 8.21/168. In the final, he was up against Shepherd. Glidden reset both ends of the track record with an 8.08/173.07 to get the victory over Lee's 8.15/167. He made it two in a row when he also won the NHRA Northstar Nationals at Brainerd. A 7.78/177.88 qualified #3, but he beat Bob Ingles in the first round, and his 7.90/176 beat Dave Hutchens in round two. He cut a great light in the semifinals, and his 7.89/176.12 beat Shepherd's quicker 7.86/171. This put him into the final against Iaconio. Once again, a sharp light combined with a 7.87/176.47 beat Frank's slightly quicker 7.85/176. Bob got three when he also picked up the NHRA US Nationals victory at Indianapolis as if two in a row weren't enough. He led the first day of qualifying with a 7.75/179.28 on Friday. He then came back out and ran 7.72/180.36 before finally taking the pole with a 7.69/180.72. His 7.75/180.00 in the opening round defeated Don Coonce's 7.87/180. Bob's 7.75 in round two advanced over a fouling Jerry Eckman. In the semifinals, both he and Iaconio ran 7.74 (Bob at 180.00), with Glidden getting the win light. This set up yet another Shepherd vs. Glidden final. Bob took the victory with a track record 7.68 at 180.36 over Lee's 7.71/181. The next NHRA event was the Golden Gate Nationals held at Fremont on October 2. This was an eight-car field, and Glidden qualified #3 with a 7.67/180.72 behind those pesky Camaros of Iaconio and Shepherd. But in the first round, Glidden was upset by Roy Hill, who ran 7.82/177 to beat Bob's 7.81/178.57. Bob always ran well at the NHRA World Finals, no matter where they were held. In '83, OCIR hosted the season final. He qualified #5 with a 7.69/182.18. The speed was good enough for a new NHRA record. He got some payback over Hill in the opening round, where his 7.75/179.64 trailered the Capri's 7.81/178. In round two, he took out the lone Mopar in the field, Reid Whisnant's Charger, with a 7.71/179. But he was late off the line in the semifinal, and his 7.664/180.36 lost to eventual winner Johnson's 7.71/178. Still, the '83 season was a huge improvement over his '82 season, and he ended up finishing third in the NHRA Pro Stock points chase.

Notes: Glidden had a rough couple of years, but he started to get the handle on his Boss 429 engines in '84. The season started slowly, but he really picked up as the year went on. It began at Pomona, where he qualified #4 with a 7.72. He beat Johnny Dowey in the first round, and in round two, his 7.82 beat Joe Lepone's 7.85. Unfortunately, he fouled against Lee Shepherd in the semifinals. At the NHRA Gatornationals, he qualified #2 behind Shepherd with a 7.66/181.45. He faced Roy Hill in an all-Ford first-round matchup, and Hill won with a 7.87 over Bob's late 7.81/175.43. In April, he had another semifinal finish at the NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta. He qualified #7 with a 7.81/177.86. He got lucky in the first round, when his ailing 8.04 advanced over Gordie Rivera's off pace 8.90. In the second round, he picked up to 7.74/178.92 to beat Lepone's 7.85/176. But once again, it was Shepherd who stopped Glidden in the semis with a 7.83 to Bob's shut off 13.14/57.35. It was the same story at Baton Rouge for the NHRA Cajun Nationals; Glidden made it to the semifinals, where he fouled against Shepherd but ran his best speed of the year at 182.92. Bob qualified #5 with a 7.72/182.18. The T-Bird continued to show strength by qualifying #1 at the PHR Championships at US 131 Martin, Michigan, with a track record 7.68 at 180. It was an eight-car show, and Bob reached the finals by getting past a fouling Don Campanello and then Andy Mannarino in the semifinals with a 7.83. In the final, he came up against #2 qualifier Frank Iaconio. Frank got the jump off the line, and his 7.72/178 held off Glidden's quicker and faster 7.68/179.28 for the win. Bob was going into the NHRA Springnationals in June as the favorite. After all, he had won the event for the past five years, back to '79. He looked good in qualifying, running 7.71 for the #2 spot, but he only lasted until round two, where he fouled against Gene Fasching. He made his first NHRA final of the year at the Grandnationals in Canada on July 1. He qualified #4 with a 7.70/180.72 and, in the semifinals, got a measure of satisfaction by beating Shepherd's 7.75 with a holeshot and a 7.78. In the final, he met Warren Johnson. It was a good, close race, with Johnson's 7.68/182 nipping Bob's 7.69/180.72. Glidden didn't have to wait long to get his first victory of the year. It came at Englishtown on July 15 for the NHRA Summernationals. Bob set a 7.67 track record at 180.00 to qualify first. He beat Jerry Eckman, Don Nicholson, and a surprising Sam Carroll in the semifinals with a 7.71. He faced his nemesis, Shepherd, in the final. Bob easily drove away from the Texas Camaro with a 7.71/178.21, beating Lee's 7.77/177. The Glidden team was still feeling pretty good when they rolled into Denver for the NHRA Mile High Nationals. He lasted until the semifinals, where WJ's 8.06/171 beat his 8.13/169.81. At the NHRA Northstar Nationals, Bob set Low ET in qualifying #1 with a 7.70/180.00. But once again, WJ stopped him in the semifinals. If any other car got stronger as the year went on, it had to be Warren Johnson's Olds. These two fought it out at Indy for the NHRA US Nationals. Bob won the qualifying battle, running 7.64/180.72 for the #1 spot just ahead of WJ's 7.66. Both worked their way to the final, Glidden with a 7.66 over Mannarino, a 7.71 over Iaconio, and a 7.72 in the semifinals over Ken Dondero's 7.82. WJ had about a tenth over Glidden in eliminations, running 7.63, 7.64, and 7.63. So, it looked like WJ would get an easy win in the final. It wasn't so easy, as somewhere along the line, Bob was able to pick up to a 7.65/180.36 that narrowly lost to WJ's 7.63/181. It was a close race. At the NHRA World Finals, it was apparent to all that Bob hadn't just caught up with his 429 program; he was now ahead of everyone else. He got the pole with a 7.64/181.81 (Top Speed) and then ran 7.6s regularly. An opening round 7.66/180.72 beat Gene Fasching while a 7.68/180.36 in round two beat Rickie Smith. He stopped Shepherd's ailing Camaro in the semifinals with a 7.64/181.45. In the final, he ran Butch Leal. A final round 7.615 (Low ET) at 181.81 got the victory over Leal's 7.81/162. It was a dominating performance.

Notes: Bob had a so-so season in '84, winning the NHRA Summernationals and the World Finals at Pomona, where he really picked up the pace by setting a new NHRA Pro Stock record of 7.61. So, going into '85, the Glidden team was optimistic. Glidden returned to Pomona for the season-opening NHRA Winternationals, dominating the event. He reset the NHRA record three times before leaving it at 7.53, and he also reset the speed record to 186.87. He was the only Pro Stock car to run 7.5s, which he did on every run. A 7.55/186.87 qualified #1, and his 7.53/185.87 advanced when Roy Hill fouled. In the second round, Gordie Rivera fouled while Bob moved on with a 7.58/177.44. In the semifinals, he beat Ken Dondero's 7.72/176 with a 7.59 at only 171.55. Meeting him in the finals was Warren Johnson. Glidden took his 42nd NHRA National Event victory with a 7.58/184.04 over Johnson's 7.77/179. Everyone expected more of the same at the NHRA Gatornationals, where once again Bob qualified #1, this time with a 7.61/183.97. But in the first round, Glidden's 7.73/157.83 advanced when Don Campanello broke. At the top end of the track, Bob had a door blow off his T-Bird. Glidden had some help in the pits from Rickie Smith, who helped reinstall it. But the opening round also saw Johnson step up from his #2 qualifying 7.63 to a 7.55. No worry yet as Bob beat Frank Iaconio in round two with his own 7.55 at 184.80 (Top Speed). Warren again went 7.55. In the semifinals, Dempsey Hardy fouled, and Glidden advanced with a 7.57/184.50. Once again, Johnson ran his third straight, 7.55, over Rivera to face Bob in the final. Now it was worry time as Johnson had lane choice and an edge in the ET department. Sure enough, he held it in the final, where Warren's 7.60/183 beat Bob's 7.68/170. The next NHRA event was the Southern Nationals in Atlanta. Glidden was having trouble as he could only run a best of 7.83/179.35 to qualify #13. Warren was on the pole with a 7.65. Glidden's 7.93/178.35 survived when Iaconio shut off in the first round. Due to Bob's poor qualifying spot, he met Johnson in round two, with Johnson definitely holding the upper hand after a first-round 7.73. But in their match, Bob improved to a 7.72/179.28 to trailer Warren's 7.79/179. Bob improved ever further in the semifinals when his 7.67/180.94 advanced over a fouling Campanello. So, here's the part where Bob wins the race, right? Wrong, Butch Leal, who had only run 7.87 in his semifinal win, is Bob's final-round opponent. Leal gets out and wins for Pontiac for the first time in the NHRA Pro Stock competition with a 7.73/179, stopping Bob's 7.80/167. This was the first time since July of '79 that someone other than Glidden, Johnson, Iaconio, or the late Lee Shepherd had won an NHRA National event. At the NHRA Cajun Nationals, a 7.58/183.89 qualified #3 behind Bruce Allen in the Reher-Morrison car and Johnson. Glidden's 7.67/181.81 advanced in the first round, when Ronnie Manchester fouled, and in round two, his 7.71 beat Hardy, who crossed the centerline. It was a battle of T-Birds in the semifinals, but Bob's 7.68/182.11 took the measure of Iaconio's 7.73/179. It was Johnson vs. Glidden for the final for the third time in four events. But for the second time, Johnson got the victory when his 7.61/178 was too much for Bob's 7.67/183.07. Glidden typically ran well at the NHRA Springnationals, and '85 looked no different when his 7.57 (Low ET) at 181.52 took the pole, but in the first round, he lucked out when Don Coonce fouled because Bob broke and slowed down to 8.76/104.67 to win. The Glidden's installed another engine for round two, but his 7.72/179.42 lost to a quick-leaving Leal, who beat him with a 7.73/178. It was then off to Canada for the NHRA Grandnationals. Bob's 7.56/184.04 qualified #4. He beat Joe Lepone in round one, with a 7.61/180.36, and in round two, another 7.61 at 182.18 advanced when Manchester fouled. He again fell to Leal in the semifinals who's holeshot 7.66/181 beat Glidden's quicker 7.62/182.33. At Englishtown for the NHRA Summernationals, he set track records of 7.53/186.25 in qualifying #1. But again, he only lasted until the semifinals. This time, Allen's 7.66/179 beat Bob's 7.72/183. It had to be frustrating after dominating the season opener and not tasting victory since, but the Gliddens got it figured out after Englishtown. They rolled into Denver for the NHRA Mile High Nationals and showed 'em. A track record 7.94 at 171.10 qualified #1. No one else was in the sevens. An 8.00/166.35 beat Campanello, and in round two, his 7.97/172.08 advanced when Mark Rodenberg fouled. A semifinal 7.96/173.07 took out Allen's 8.03/170, putting Bob into the final against Leal. This was Glidden's show, and in the final, his 7.95/172.74 sent Leal's 8.05/172 packing. This was followed by another victory at the NHRA Northstar Nationals. Bob's 7.61/183.67 qualified #1, and he ran 7.61/184.04 over Rivera, a 7.60/185.18 (track record) over a fouling Leal and 7.57/183.67 in the semifinals to beat Johnson's 7.60/183. He met with Allen in the final, and the two had a close race, with Bob's 7.60-83.29 coming out on top over Bruce's 7.61/180. Glidden had a small hiccup at the Pro Stock Challenge race at Indianapolis. It was an eight-car field of the highest NHRA qualifiers for the last 12 months. Hutchens fouled against him in the first round, and Bob's 7.58/185.03 advanced, but in the semifinals, Glidden fouled away a 7.61/182.85 against eventual winner Allen who won with a 7.59/181. That didn't keep Glidden down as he turned around and won the NHRA US Nationals title the next day. His low qualifying 7.57 (at 185.03) was Low ET. Early 7.53/186.87 national records at Pomona Winters, then reset ET National Record at Maple Grove with a 7.497.

Notes: Hagen attempted to qualify at Gainesville for the NHRA Gatornationals, but he was one of many who failed to better the 7.88 "bump." John qualified at Brainerd at 8.104/173.74 but died in a crash there.
