Woops... well, it's no wonder I didn't see that post. It was buried in some obscure corner of TMS. hehe

 

I wonder how much that body kit runs?

 

Bout time/////////////

John should have one last year......but every one needs a break sometimes


Good luck John.

 

Yeah . . the Motorsports section isn't visited by the masses very much. We'll leave this thread up to get some more face time.

 

lol i had just seen that on his website a few days ago.... are the planets aligned a special way or something this time of year??

 

And it appears to be fast, too... how about 4.698 seconds at just 299mph in testing at LVMS!! I can't wait for Pomona in two weeks... I need a sniff of nitro!!

 

Just when I was about to hit the close button I read you post

 

Glad to see Mr. Force moved up to the S197ish style body. Now if we could get Mr. ? anyone to run one in Pro-Stock that would be cool.

 

Maybe in IHRA where they can run 800in motors. There hasn't been a competitive Ford in NHRA PS in years.

 

I would say Bob Glidden was the last competitive Ford PS driver.

 

I would concur, and they (from what I remember) had a BIG falling out at the end of his career with Ford.

Heck, the last person I can remember in a Ford in PS was . . ummm . . ."the animal" (can't remember full name) in a ZX2.

 

There are a couple Fords running PS now in NHRA, they just can't qualify and make the fields. Jim Cunningham is already registered for PS in Pomona driving a <gulp> 2005 Escort.

 

I'd say the new body style still needs some tuning. 25 mph is a bunch to give up.

The Boss Hog

 

Correct me if I wrong but I think Bob worked with Ford on the Winston Cup Racing program as a development adviser or something like that. Your right it has been sometime since any Ford has been dominant in Pro Stock. I sure due wish Billy would have given it a better shot. A Glidden dynasty in Pro Stock would have been cool. Not the WJ and the KJ or the parts brothers.

 

My guess is he lifted or threw a belt or put out some cylinders, resulting in the 299. But, to still lay down a 4.69 even without the top end is pretty impressive!

 

I started a thread about this about a year ago looking for spy photos of his '05 car and foamed at the mouth waiting for it, much to my dissabpointment it was again the old body style. I am glad it is out now. Now only if we can get his hot daughters in the driver's seat of some nitro burners I won't have to switch between NHRA drag racing and Skinemax for my entertainment.

 

Yea, Ashley!!

Notice how much she is paying attention to me. LOL
