Bob Glidden is an American drag racer who first retired from Pro Stock racing in 1997, returning in 2010. He retired with the most wins in National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) history at that time, and he is currently the third most successful drag racer of the professional class drivers. Glidden won 85 NHRA National Events and holds Ten Pro Stock Championships which include five in a row beginning in 1985. 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. At one point, he won 50 eliminations rounds in a row. In 1987 Glidden won eight races including his 60th national win. He ended his season with five straight wins and his eighth Pro Stock championship. He reached the finals ten times that season, winning a record 42 rounds of competition. He qualified number one in all 14 events. His two season streak ended at the 1988 Gator Nationals with 22 straight top qualifiers. His 1988 season was similar to 1987. After struggling early in the season, he won five of the last seven races heading to his fourth straight title. He retired his Thunderbird after 19 national victories in favor of a Ford Probe at the Supernationals.<\/p>\n

For the Modeler:<\/strong> This review covers the Revell kit #4098 of the Motorcraft T-Bird Pro Stock driven by Bob Glidden in 1\/25 scale. The kit is a direct Re-release (Re-Pop) of the original molding. The Copyright on the chassis reads 1988. This is a Skill Level 2 kit \"000b\"<\/a> with 99 parts molded in White, Chrome, Clear and Clear Red with Vinyl tires and a new high quality decal sheet. This kit features a detailed BOSS 494 drag racing engine, complete roll cage, racing chassis and removable hood and body. Assembly is straight forward with typical motor, chassis interior then the body. The detail is nice on the motor and could be wired easily. The roll cage builds section by section with the interior installed prior to finishing the cage making paintwork a little more effort. The body can be assembled prior to painting and must be Two-Tone painted as decals do not have the White side stripe on them.\u00c2\u00a0 Overall dimensions are: Length: 8-3\/4″, Width: 3-1\/16″, Height: 2″.<\/p>\n
