Hemi Under Glass: Bob Riggle and His Wheel-Standing MoparsBy Mark Fletcher & Richard TruesdellLook up to the skies through Bob Riggles eyes in this wheel-standing, must-have Mopar history book onHemi Under Glass!While the established stock and modified brackets are long recognised as the heart and soul of drag racing, it was the wheel-standers that more often than not put butts in the bleachers. In that category, some of the most well-known names included Bill Maverick GoldensLittle Red Wagon, Bill ShewsberrysL.A. Dartand Chuck PoolesChuck Wagon. Although, most memorable of all was theHurst Hemi Under GlassPlymouth Barracuda campaigned by Bob Riggle.Riggle started his career in the early 1960s as a car builder and mechanic for Hurst-Campbell and eventually ascended to pilot theHemi Under Glass. When he left Hurst in 1969, theHemi Under Glassfranchise transferred with Riggle. He continued for six more years as the owner/driver of a succession ofHemi Under Glassrenditions. In the 1990s he resurrected the concept of the original carmaking four different versions (1966, 1967, 1968, and 1969)and continued to thrill drag racing fans with his wheelstanding antics.At the time of this writing, Bobs last run with theHemi Under Glasswas in the summer of 2019. He claims to have retired (he was 83 years old at the time), but hes claimed that before!For all the success he enjoyed over his long and distinguished career, which is believed to be one of the longest in all of motorsports, hes best remembered for a run at Irwindale Raceway in early 2016 with comedian and car buff Jay Leno in the passenger seat in a video that has been viewed more than 10 million times.This is Bobs story, one that Mark Fletcher and Richard Truesdell, co-authors of the 2012 bookHurst Equipped, are honoured to share. They say the story was easy to tellgiven their unprecedented access not only to Bob but also to his vast archive of photos that reflect his ongoing popularity. Many of the photos in this book are seen in print for the very first time.Published by CarTech # CT670Paperback 160 Pages
