Bob Glidden

Bob Glidden (born 1944) is an American drag racer. He was retired from Pro Stock racing in 1997 and returned in 2010.〔 〕 Glidden retired as the driver with the most wins in National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) history at that time (a feat recently topped by 15 time Funny Car champion John Force), and he is currently the third most successful drag racer of the professional class drivers ( sixth when counting sportsman national event winners). Glidden won 85 NHRA National Events. In the Professional classes, he currently is behind Warren Johnson (97) and John Force (141). Glidden's ten Pro Stock championships included five in a row beginning in 1985.〔(Biography ) at the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America, written early 1994, Retrieved December 14, 2007〕 Among his numerous accomplishments, Glidden won nine straight NHRA national races in 1979 and was the No. 1 qualifier 23 times in a row, including the entire 1987 season.〔(Biography ) at the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, Retrieved December 14, 2007〕 At one point, he won 50 eliminations rounds in a row.
Glidden almost became the first driver in a doorslammer to reach 200 miles per hour when he ran 199.11 miles per hour at an International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) race in Darlington, South Carolina. However, a Top Sportsman car driven by Bill Kuhlmann ran 202 miles per hour later that evening. He has won several IHRA races and won one IHRA championship.〔
== Racing career ==
Glidden began his drag racing career in the 1960s in a Ford 427 Fairlane. He is most closely associated with Ford cars, a manufacturer that he used throughout his career. In 1968 he changed to a 428 Cobra Jet Mustang. He started out in Stock and moved up to Super Stock. He was sponsored by Ed Martin Ford, where he worked as a mechanic. He was a frequent winner in Division 3 before turning Pro in 1972.〔(No. 4, Bob Glidden ); National Hot Rod Association; Retrieved December 14, 2007〕 In those days, the series included participation in both national and divisional races.
