All I can say is... WOW, what a video, that was fantastic. Brings chills to me. Buddy really shook the racing world with his performance. Imagine a 268ci motor against a 700 plus cubic inch monster in 1986!!!! He really was the man of the turbo Buick world!!!! Hats off to Buddy!!! |
I love the way Bob Glidden says "the turbo just didn't have enough stuff" at the end. What about less than half the cubes?
|
Agreed - great stuff. I really need a track fix or maybe I really need a new job that allows me the opportunity for a track fix,,,,
|
Glidden and Ford were visably shaken from Buddy's performance during the mid 80's. So much so, that they regulated Buddy right out of Pro-Stock. Even today, we're not really understood by most racers-.

The man was certainly a pioneer! He did that in 86'! :eek: WOW! Gives me goosebumps watchin' it.:cool:
