Bob Glidden update
 

It sounds as though Bob could use our collective thoughts and prayers for recovery from the complications of his fall during the World Finals

Thanks for posting Dallas, Bob has been the Blue Oval Hero for many years and always will be in my book. He has always been a fighter and I know he will fight through this. My thoughts and prayers go out to Bob Glidden.

Does anyone know his status? :(
Thanks,

Last I heard, he was at home in Whiteland, IN, resting comfortably, and expected to continue to recover.

Re: Bob Glidden update
 

I told you guys I was told his condition was worse than had been reported on here! Nobody listened! My inside sources do not lie! Here's hoping Bob continues to get better and recovers fully so he can compete again. He was having the time of his life! Jim

Re: Bob Glidden update
 

Was disappointed to read that apparently Bob will not be driving this year (or at least that's inferred by the article). Trust me, that first run he made at the Nationals was unbelievable...Bob is THE MAN.

Jim, that first run at Indy was as good as it gets; it was as if he had never retired. On the positive side; he is deeply involved in Cunningham's engine program, especially the cylinder heads, and, at this time, he will be the crew chief for Buddy Perkinson. There is no one more qualified to make a Pro Stock Ford competitive than Bob Glidden!

Well said! Well said. Jim

Re: Bob Glidden update
 

Well, apparently the other shoe has dropped as you can see on the NHRA site and as kindly provided by ClassRacer in the right margin of the home page. I really like this new feature but dang I hate this news. Guess Bob has always been known to want to run things his way but Cunningham should defer to "the Man", he might learn a thing about winning but guess these days it's more about money than winning.

Re: Bob Glidden update
 

One has to wonder whether BG doesn't like the new driver or whether he didn't like EE getting the boot, if she did?

Re: Bob Glidden update
 

I read in a quote where Cunningham said we have been doing this along time we know what were doing without Bob Glidden. I'm a hardcore Chevy guy, but Glidden knows how to make a Ford run. Cunningham's cars were down 4 mph to the leaders in Pro Stock. In Pro Stock that's a mile behind. He is waaaaaaaaaay down on HP. He needs Glidden big time. After 10 to 12 straight DNQ's he will figure that out.

Was most likely pushing Jim to put Billy in the car like he did Maskin!

Re: Bob Glidden update
 

Billys not a bad driver.

Re: Bob Glidden update
 

So whos the new driver?
