bob fainted after completing his 1st qualifier when getting out of the car and hit his head reportedly getting a cut they transported him to the hospital and he stayed overnight . he was released friday morning and is resting.

I hope he is OK. In my book he is the Man!! I so much enjoyed seeing him at the old point meets where they ran the Pro"s. Rest up Bob, we need you back!!

I was in the stands on Friday at Indy this year when Bob made his first run in Cunningham's car...you simply would not believe the reaction, seems like everybody was on their feet cheering. He didn't qualify but on that first pass he stayed with an out of shape race car about as good as anyone I've ever seen, doubt he even missed his shift points 100 RPM....Bob is the man...

I go to Indy every year for all 6 days, so I also saw the run that you are referring to. I agree completely that the crowd reaction, and his driving, were simply great. Bob is the man and he always will be the man!

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
