Bob Glidden

Just seen over on YB Bob Glidden has passed away sorry to here that rip

Damn it.

Wait. I can't find it online. Is this verified?

According to a post on Class Racer Billy Glidden is saying his dad is alive and well..internet rumor??

Saw it reported on FB earlier too but also saw that it was NOT TRUE!

I’m glad he is still with us no one was ever going to out work bob

Man I hate it when everyone jumps on the band wagon and post crap like this before confirmation. I read it on Facebook that he died then alive and come on here and he's dead again

Yeah, I jumped in and then thought is this true. I couldn't verify it and now it's not true.

love him or hate him, bob glidden is an icon. glad he is still kickin' !

Glad it's not true! Bob is to me up there with Jenkins in terms of Pro Stock innovation and dedication to Automotive Race Engineering excellence.

Are there any archival pics of his 340 Plymouth Arrow block and Head mods? I think he basically Invented the 48 degree block by having to re-angle the 59 degree Factory blocks so he could get his motor to reliably rev past 8K. He knew there was lots of power in the heads but the old Poly 59 degree carry-over architecture limited the engine speed.
