Re: Bill Glidden to run pro stock at Indy

The story says that Billy was going to be driving a Grand Am. If that is correct it is one of Marks old cars not the current stuff which I think is the rolling stock being used by Craig Hankinson.

Bill will be in a GTO. He's just glad to be entered in the show and doesn't expect much as he is putting the car together as of today.

I may have missed it, but who owns the car that he will be driving? Is it a one-shot, Indy only deal? Either way, good to see the Gliddens out there.

The car has new pipe and he is running a Schmidt motor.

Good luck Billy and Shannon!

It sure would be, but more realistically I think it'd be a hoot if he qualified.

I wonder what's up with Enders? Last word I remember hearing is that they were skipping a race or two so Nickens could find some power......guess he hasn't found anything yet?

Re: Bill Glidden to run pro stock at Indy

It's great to see Bill and Shannon in Pro Stock. M/T is definitely getting some "bang for the buck" out of him running at Indy! If he has enough power, he has the ability and know how to get down the track. I am glad to see Bill and Bob back at the track. It would be great to see Rusty and Etta there cheering them on.....

I am actually not feeling pressure to perform. I am actually just wanting to get it together, and stage, so not to let folks down that I did not make it, I truely have no expectations, I figure this was 23rd hour for Steve, and he has several cars already with engines, so I can not really expect the same as his regulars, or him, I appreciate his taking on this task so late. Thanks everyone, BG

Nice run for Bill, give him 2 or 3 more mph and the hp that goes with it and that would have been a great run. Not too bad for not running a Pro Stock car in 10 years.

Does anyone know Bill's plans for the rest of the year now. I hope there is more to come, that was not a bad start, considering.

I am sure he will come on and say but he said it was just a one race deal but he is working with Mickey Thompson so we will see. I would say having the 8th motor of Schmidt's in the race already, a car he just picked up a few days before the event and not even sitting in the car until the first qualifying session really, he didnt do too bad at all. He made it down 4 outta 5 passes. As he said, atleast he looked like he knew what he was doing! I would love to see Bill back out there. Him and Shannon are good people. I am also pumped that Bob is back. It just isint right not having a Glidden involved in PS in some capacity.

Yeah, I just read on YB where he posted he would be there if he got an entry. Hope so. I wouldnt think they bought a car for only one race. Good luck Bill, I hope everything works out for you.
