Bob Glidden Return To Vegas

Quote from Billy Glidden

Hello folks, I had written a few days ago, that Dad may be at the race in Vegas? Well it looks like he will be coming out, and in fact racing the grand am of Kenny Perry. This has been made possible by the work and efforts of people behind the scenes, which no doubt include Mel, and a few sponsors. It actually does not pay Dad for time, just to get him there, so obviously he is excited about racing once again! Anyone who wants to see this old mad dog shoe one down the track again, had better get out there, because lord knows when the stars alighn again to make this happen! Thanks, BG

This will be at the PSCA Super Nationals in Las Vegas Nov. 20th-23rd. The last time Bob Drove was 2006 in Bradenton. He drove Kenny Perry's Ford powered Grand Am to win the 10.5 Outlaw class. He beat Billy Glidden in the semi's. It will be great to see the two of them racing together again!!! Billy will be driving the 2006 Pontiac GTO with the small block Ford in it.

It's Official..... Gliddens' To Match Race Cobra Jet's In Vegas

PSCA & SCSN President Mel Roth announces today that Ford Racing icons Bob and Bill Glidden, will battle each other in a best 2 out of 3 grudge race at the Street Car Super Nationals IV November 20-23, 2008 at the Strip in Las Vegas . Both Glidden's will be in Limited Production Ford Racing "Cobra Jet" Mustangs and the gloves will be off between these two Ford Racing legends!!!

Roth states "We knew there was a chance with both Glidden's being here racing in the Accufab Outlaw 10.5 class that they might line up against each other during the weekend, but now there's a new twist as both father & son will be in equally matched hot rods and the best Glidden will prevail".

Jim D'Amore from JDM Engineering brought up the idea and Jesse Kershaw from Ford Motorsports made it happen with (2) 2008 Ford factory built race Mustangs we knew it would be a crowd pleaser. Bob and Bill will also be signing both cars as many other Ford Racing Legends will be doing in the weeks prior. Round 1 of the epic battle will take place on Saturday at high noon, with Rounds 2 & 3 (If necessary) taking place on Sunday with the times TBA.

Bob and Bill will also be competing in the 10.5w Outlaw Class. Billy will be driving the SBF powered Pontiac GTO and Bob will be driving Kenny Perry's SBF powered Pontiac Grand Am.
