Bob Glidden

Jim Wahl · 11-13-2010, 06:01 PM

I have heard from one of Morgans crew members that Glidden is in rather serious condition and still in the hospital. My prayers go out to one of our sports best and greatest drivers. Jim

He was released from the hospital yesterday after a nights stay. He is probably back in Whiteland by now.... This came from Billy Glidden...

That's great news. I gotta make a phone call then! Still praying for his quick recovery. Jim

Here is the information directly from Billy. Not sure why Cunninghams crew would be saying he is still in the hospital.....

Dad is out of the hospital now, and very tired, he is going to get some rest on come home for a few? Days, weeks, I really do not know, then head to Cunninghams to look for more hp. He required several stapples to connect his head back together, but he is a tough old fellow, and will work right through it, I truely do thank each and every person here, for the well wishes. Dad is really greatful for the nice replies also, he just really disappointed that he can not finish this race. They had found a little more power and he was anxious to continue towards making the show. Thanks,BG

He has astounded and amazed me multiple times in my life, but to ME the most amazing thing he ever did was to win the NHRA Pro Stock World Chamionship with a small block Mopar at a time when guys like Dick Landy, Butch Leal, Billy the Kid Step, and, the Rod shop (not positive about that one) were all building copycat cars and not ONE of them ever won a single National event with that motor (to my knowledge), and the following year, he returned to Ford and won the National Championship, again! That may be the year when he went a whole year without getting outrun. I think he redlighted at Denver, and that's the only race he lost. But, nobody actually outran him...

At least, that's the way my so-called brain remembers it.

It's not for nothing, that they call him "Mad Dog!!!"

If any or all of this is wrong, I apologize; my memory is not the best, these days... please correct my errors.
