Glidden to race again?

It would be great to see him race again !! I was a long time fan of his. But at this point , more than likely , well under budgeted. Some may even think wasting his time.

Too Cool! They will need some luck making the field but to me would still be worth the price of admission just watching Bob run the 1/4 mile in a Ford P/S. Now if they can pair him up with WJ during qualifying

Results for Qualifying Round 1

CLERMONT, Ind. - INDY - Notes from round 1 qualifying in Pro Stock at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, 56th annual Mac Tools U.S. Nationals presented by Lucas Oil listing lane, driver name, elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run:

Right Lane: Bob Glidden Runs 6.782/204.94, Now #1

5:50 p.m.

Lots of things are special about Indy, just one of them being that we have 5 Pro Stock sessions instead of 4. But this one is in a class all by itself just due to the car that's just pulled into the water. Bob Glidden is in Indy, he's racing, and he's in a Ford. I'll wait a moment until the cheering stops.

This is Bob's 324th race and his 26th U.S. Nationals. He hasn't been in NHRA competition since the Pomona Finals in 2003.

OK, so it wasn't a thing of beauty but I'm not sure anybody but BG could have pulled it off anyhow. The car jumped off to the right and was moving hard to the wall. Bob yanked it back right in the middle of some nasty shake. He managed to get the car settled down and runs his career best ET.

Like I say every year, wish you were here

I might even get interested in 1:1 Pro Stock again if Glidden qualifies! But he really should be driving a stars 'n' stripes Mustang <g>. That classic paint scheme has gotta be worth a couple of hundredths in Indy.

Cheers,
Rick V.
