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!

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.

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.

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.
