Some people are pathetic

**protour_chevelle** · 10-29-2005

So some Billy Gidden guy posts on a local forum that I'm on. I'm the first to post and ask what kind of car he drives(seeing how he asked about a drag racing shoot out that we're doing next summer). Well instantly I am hit with the "Is your question serious?" yada yada yada. I do not follow dragracing to the point of knowing the names, cars, stats, etc. Just like Hockey. I enjoy them both but I'm not going to know everything about the sport nor do I want to. I barely follow Solo II and Solo I for christ sake... and I dig that stuff!

Well, then the smartass's pipe up and claim that I'm "into that Ferrari wanna be Pro Touring Stuff."

What a joke is all I can say. Bunch of f... you know!

What's your point? That he was upset you didn't know who he was?

**bnickel** · 10-29-2005

no bash intended here but you really don't know who Billy Glidden is? do you know who Bob Glidden is? Billy is Bob's son.

Never heard of them either, but reading down the post I have a clue now...

I have to agree he is pretty big in the Ford crowd/world. i dont follow drag racing and i know who he is. basically took **** cars with killer motors and killed every one in street type classes. I am pretty sure he dominated on a pretty low budget. i think he ended up in the 10.5 Outlaw class and is probably higher than that now if he's still racing. Dont keep up, but knew exactly who he was talking about.

I would say you are in the "Ferrari Wanna Beat" stuff!! So you don't know. OK. Just like someone around here not knowing who Mark Stielow is. These types of boards are to share information and stuff.
I agree, some people.

Billy Glidden is one of the most popular "streetcar" Mustang racers in the country. Pretty much an idol for the Mustang guys. Most of his cars in the past looked like crap, but were the quickest in the field. He won a TON of events along the way.

What site does he post on?

**MuscleRodz** · 10-30-2005

Didn't I see Bob Glidden as the Crew Chief for Jeg Coughlin now? Of Jeg's for those that don't know. I know....

Well right now, the owner of the site traced IP's and it appears to be a cockroach that wants to be Billy Glidden... IP's are in different countries. He claims Indiana, but IP shows he's in Canada.

That would explain a lot...I've met Billy Glidden before, and I honestly wouldn't expect him to have that sort of attitude....he's a real humble guy....doesn't have a big head or anything like that. He was actually a really cool guy to talk to.....and he can sure build a SBF.

**shmoov69** · 10-30-2005

Didn't he "show" NHRA that you can cheat in Pro Stock? LOL!! After they said it could not be done!

**Van B** · 10-30-2005

I remember being at Indy the weekend that all came out. Took a couple year old car and an engine that couldn't qualify and came out and qualified in the top half of the field a few events in a row if I remember right. Rumor was hidden nitrous in the ballast and plumbed through the rollcage and hoodscoop mount spraying into the carbs. Just enough to pick up a tenth or two. Pretty cool, and clever.

My details may not be 100% accurate. I am getting forgetful in my middle age.

**Steve68** · 10-31-2005

Billy Glidden can make a SBF fly, ugly cars but fasst!

**blazer4corners** · 10-31-2005

Billy"HOUSEPAINT"Glidden is and has been for awhile a "engineer" for Edelbrock.Same time they brought Pat Musi to the family.Most of the time Billy's cars are 5-speeds.
