Jul 24, 2012 - your very correct! i got to see glidden from the 80's through the early 90's! awesome i know they are other pro stock greats. but when you think pro stock gliddens name always comes up first! ford should be ashamed! they bent over backwards for force! but when you think of ford in drag racing gliddens namecomes up first not forces!

Jun 11, 2011 - Bob is the MAN, for sure. Back in the day, Bob built his cars, drove the rig to the track, tuned them, and then drove them to victory. Nowadays all you have are paid pussies that can only drive.

May 25, 2011 - Wow!! What the hell is that car made out of? Cardboard?!?! I believe super fast cars shouldn't be super light nor super heavy... but just heavy enough not to make it go airborne like that...Funny cars are gay.....I like the regular drag racing though

Oct 28, 2010 - Looks like a pretty good injury to his hand.

Aug 16, 2010 - Appears to be a drag chute malfunction. I've been around drag racing for 45 years, and the last thing drag racers pay attention to is the chute{s}. It can be a lifesaver or thr worst white knuckle ride ever when it all goes wrong!!.

trenty117 Says:

Jul 18, 2010 - wow, where do you live because I live in whiteland too? who are you?

tog1957 Says:

Jul 7, 2010 - When Glidden got caught cheating running a nitrous system hidden in his battery Ford decided they could get along without Drag Racing cheats!

Jun 19, 2010 - Its funny you mention that too becasue all of those fuel cars are chrysler powered, the brand logo is but a mere sponsor. You are absolutley right ford shoulda helped the glidden family.. can u imagine how many fords were sold becasue of bob?

Jun 11, 2010 - Damn I remember watching this on tv with my dad when I was a kid. My dad was a huge Bob Glidden fan, I still have a bunch of Glidden model kits in the basement. Ah the good ol days.

Jun 10, 2010 - Bob lives like 2 minutes from my house in Whiteland, Indiana :)

Jun 6, 2010 - bob was an inovator for sure. he was the first to cut and section cylinder heads. he used a stone pizza oven to cure the heads. with ports big enough to pass a ciggarette pack through.

vince065us Says:

May 9, 2010 - Yes he did.

ROOTSROCK1000 Says:

Apr 30, 2010 - bob glidden is still involved pro stock i think he's the crew chef for larry morgans dodge...best dam ford racer in history..back in the day he was running a 351 cleveland sbf..beating the big block chevy and mopar guys..in pro stock..but ford never realy help the gliddens they did most of the work and testing with there own money or what ever they could get from sponsers..

Apr 8, 2010 - Whats funny about this is that after he got out and was cleared he took his jacket and covered up the manifold . . . becuase he didnt want ppl to see what he had under the hood because was is that damn good

Jan 11, 2010 - Yes, one of the lines holding the chute to the car broke causing it to pull to one side.
