Hello!
 

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

Hi Bill,

Thanks folks! I will let pop know about folks here wishing him well, BG

welcome billy, i was a pit brat like you in the mid to late 70s. i'm sure you don't remember but my uncle larry drove pro stock like your dad. grump built and tuned his car back then and he won a national event in 74. it's cool to see you are doing good in the sport and i hope you stick around.

Uncle Larry Lombardo? I remember him very well! He is the one who got upset at Dad for throwing the chute out early. :shock: :D BG

yes thats some funny chit right there. him and grump were always bitch about something. i don't remember of we hung out at the tracks but i do remember your dad and playing with a bunch of kids. you may have been one of them.

Billy who? Just kidding!!

Welcome to this site Billy. Its nice to have you here.

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.

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!!!!!

Uh oh.....now watch this thread blow up. LOL

Bill knows what I am talking about.

The last time I bumped into your dad was at Steve Shcmidts old shop.
Please wish him well.

Welcome Bill, glad to have you on board. We race some at Phenix City Al. and have met you at some of those races..

Steve

Not another BG Thread. How many pages will this be.. Hey Bill!!!! :lol:

Here comes the gang.....hey Ray!

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:

That would be awesome!!!!!!!!!!

I would definately enjoy talking to him.

are we talking about the same bob glidden that flipped his car like 50 times and got out and covered his intake with his racing jacket?

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


Steve

Atlanta 86 i think opposite Butch Leal if i remember right

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)

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)

My Dec. 2005 interview with Bob Glidden in Gainesville Fla.
