Glidden left off World Champ listings
 

I was looking at article in my new ND got yesterday that list all the NHRA world champs and how many they had won,then looking at it the second time,I noticed Bob Glidden had been left out,I'm sure it was accidental maybe he is only 10 time champ and being the only one on that list got left off somehow.
In my opinion now they need to do the whole thing over,just a note in front of next issue saying they need to make a correction and add Bob to the list as 10 time champ would be a insult in my opinion.
I say it was accidental but how do have a list of NHRA world champs and not notice Glidden is missing?

Right On!!--Im hoping he is under-funded for his stupid looking cars--He lost the best he will ever have-by far--BTW how many people ran out and bought a mustang and put Castrol oil in?:eek:

Shameful but not unusual these days....
Maybe ND will print Bob's Championship Record in some small obscure corner in the next issue.

IMO Billy Glidden is racing where the ROI exposure is at, with Bob helping out when he's able. That is also where Ford is putting their money, like the NMRA, where they sell parts $.20 for ever dollar spent on NHRA F/C program. Glidden killed everyone before all the fluff money came in, and only got better when Ford started backing him. IMO the Ford program died when Glidden left Pro Stock. So with Ford pulling out of NHRA's "golden goose" race team, why would it be such a surprise for NHRA to overlook him? JF is a salesman, Glidden is not, but was a pure racer who won through thick and thin, and didn't need NHRA to do it. While JF continues to sell NHRA despite them needing him more than he needs them, this just proves again how much smarter Glidden was by never kissing up to them.

As much as we try to limit mistakes sometimes things inadvertently slip through unnoticed. Believe me, as a whole no one feels worse about this than the entire ND staff. A correction is in the works.

Thanks Kevin for the note and the 'thick skin'. Bob ranks right up there with Big Daddy in my book and obviously many others share my high opinion of him. All the sportsman spotlights and coverage in ND are greatly appreciated.

Proof-reading is a thankless and tiresome task and know that mistakes happen.
