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.

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

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

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!
