Hello!

[BillGlidden]

Hello everyone here at Racingjunk! I was informed by a friend that this forum existed, and came here to say hello! I have personally looked at items in here, and also have had others look here, in fact one fellow bought liberty five speed, and spare parts from this info. I may be slow checking, but if anyone has questions and or thoughts I can help with? Just fire away, or go to www.yellowbullet.com.
Thanks and have a great day! BG

Welcome to the RJ forum Bill. I've watched your family race together for years. Talk about a class act. Your Dad is the nicest guy I've met at the track. He always took time to talk to the fans. You guys should be proud of your family. I think it's special to have a family do things together and you guys were a perfect example of that. Just wanted to say Hi and tell your Dad Hi as well. You guys represented the sport very well and still do.

[chevguy65]

WOW,

When I first posted the welcome I did not take the time to look at the full name...we are in the presence of greatness here.

A legendary name in the world of drag racing.

Hey Bill,

Thanks for being a part of the RJ family!!!!!

[sledgehammer]

[BillGlidden]

Told Dad about folks saying hello. He obviously says hello back! I am working a few ideas to get him out to the races, or atleast involved in racing? Thats where his thoughts are alot, he talks to folks everywhere and still keeps as close as he can, without being there. hehehe!!! Thanks everyone, BG

Thanks Bill for telling your Dad about us,asking about him.

Maybe you could talk Dad into getting on here and giving us a shout here at RJ,we'd love to have the legendary Bob Glidden stop in and join up and say hello.
What do you think guys,wouldn't this be totally awesome? :idea:

Imagine that Bob Glidden here with us Nobodys.Well Next to Bill he is truely someone. 8)

I remember a year or so ago, your dad taking test laps in your car, and turning in faster times than most people, really brought a smile to my face. Can never get the racing out of him no matter what you do. 8)

I met you and your wife I believe at a race in Michigan a few years ago, got one of your Glidden Racing Engines shirts then. It's one of my faves, I wear it to Chevy shows just to rile people up. :lol:

[lookingaround]

[3dracing]

Yep, at Atlanta I think. When you get old sometimes you don't remember things completely.

Yes this is the "Legendary" Bob Glidden.
I remember seeing this on tv I was glad he wasn't hurt,thats was a "classic" thing he done getting out of the car and covering up the intake system with his fire jacket 8)

[chevguy65]

I remember it as well....

Bob had some of the fastest cars of his time and he is one of the all time greats in my opinion 8)
