He was the best ...... RIP Bob

Re: Bob Glidden
 

I remember his genius in making those small block Mopar heads work in his Arrow. The car in its entirety was an engineering masterpiece but the ingenuity in getting heads right exceed any superlatives I can muster.

GODSPEED Bob Glidden!

my favorite, I have a great motorcraft glidden poster hanging in my garage.

Re: Bob Glidden
 

Recall Bob running Cunningham's Mustang at Indy just a few years ago and saving a run that nobody else could have driven out of. He was the master.

RIP Bob.

What's your source on this news? Facebook ?

Re: Bob Glidden
 

Billy Glidden posted that Bob is still with us!
Somebody posted in Wikipedia that he had passed and it was not true.
Wikipedia already took it down.

Re: Bob Glidden
 

Don't you just love social media? Upon reading the thread I immediately jumped on NHRA and Comp Plus and seeing nothing there I figured as much. In any case, glad the master still walks amongst us.

Re: Bob Glidden
 

No shortage of ghouls wanting to be the first to post either.

Re: Bob Glidden
 

Glad he's still with us. I'm a Mopar guy but Bob is the one guy I look up to. He could make a turtle fly, when he took that little Chrysler and made it a dominate winner when nobody else could, I new he was god.

Very thankful this was posted in error, but the reverence shown for Bob by all here can not be diminished nor should it be misinterpreted.

Re: Bob Glidden
 

Even though there is some good stuff on there this is one of the reasons I stay off Facebook.
I hope Bob is still with us many years from now, He is a god.

We saw Bob run at the '78 Cajun Nats. There were several seasons when it appeared that he really didn't have much serious competition. Then Lee Shepard started doing pretty good in the Reher Morrison Camaro.

Then there was Grumpy & Dyno Don, & even the Hornet X. All were at the '78 Cajuns.

The last pic shows Dyno Don's car beside Shirley's TF dragster, in the staging lanes. Glad we got to witness a small part of drag racing history. :)

Yes, died around 9pm Sunday. A major loss to drag racing history.

Re: Bob Glidden
