LAST MONTH'S WINNER
Well, you certainly liked the photo of Bob Glidden. We received more captions than usual and most of them were not very politically correct. We're very proud of your creativity.
After much debate, the winner is Ronald F. Sherry of Austin, Texas, who submitted:
"Okay, you think that spring in the chute can knock me back all the way to the water box, go ahead, give the lever a pull and we'll see!
Getting Honorable Mentions are:
"
Wow, so that's what it looks like -- we just ran over Anderson's traction control unit." -- Rocky Cola Jr., Wisconsin
"So. . .that's where I left my laundry." -- Rick Henry, DeSoto, Texas
"Uh oh, I've got less than 0.17 of a second to untie my shoelace from this wheelie bar or grab the chutes and hang on." -- Bob Costello, Melbourne, Florida
"I'm really trying to shut out the voices, but I keep hearing 'Ford, Ford. . . .' " -- Cliff Morgan, Phoenix, Arizona
"Bob on the radio to Don: "Well, do you want me to get someone out of the sands to drive this thing?" -- Klay Henderson, Cleveland, Alabama
"Geez, I have to teach this kid everything! Shaun, I told you that the drive wheels are in the BACK in NHRA Pro Stock!" -- Greg Guarinello
"Has he already put a neon light under the rear end?" -- Tom Drake
"Is that what I think it is? I knew we shouldn't have hired Vicki Fanning to drive this thing! Someone get me a shovel." -- Brian in Boston
"What the hey! I need to go get my glasses. For a minute there, I though that was Linda Vaughn in a blue dress." -- Frank, Jamestown, Ohio
"Now, on these Mopars was the nitrous switch on the left or the right?" -- Stan Waggoner Jr., Napa, California
"I wish Don would just buy a darn support vehicle to follow the car down the track. . .I'm just getting too old to chase behind Richie after every run." -- Karl Wortman, Akron, Ohio
"Three lousy spectators is all we get after Mopar spends millions?!" -- Jerry Payne, San Angelo, Texas
"FBI surveillance photo: Gliddiani family boss, Roberto Gliddiani, aka "Bob Glidden," became outraged by the decision made by a certain "Shoe" denying Gliddiani Jr. a job. The "Don" rigged the parachute in an attempt to send the replacement driver into the Vegas desert, which would have guaranteed Junior the job. The attempt failed when a crewman, not knowing the plot, removed the device. The crewman is missing, with no leads." -- Al Argentero, New Jersey (where else)
NOT-SO-HONORABLE MENTION
"When I asked "How do I get a unique race car?" they said, "Bob, u neak up on it." -- Don Seamans, New Brunswick, Canada
