After watching some of the pro cars go down the 1/4... not exactly straight ...I'm not sure I could just hop in and give 'er hell. Doesn't mean I wouldn't try it though

How's that monster handle on the big end?

...I need all the experience I can get

Not hard to drive? Maybe if u've gone through NASA's G testing! ****, I'd be lucky to even see the first time, let alone drive!

I too was think about u eric when I first was reading this

10's have gotten awfully boring here lately...

Hell, let me drive, the 10's arn't boring for me, it's the low 15's to high 14's that are boring for me

I have no idea what my car will run when it's done, but I was thinking low 14's, at the most, high 13's. But it's not going to be a race car, plus, I'm just going to sell it, but it will last a long time!

Eric4Nitrous · 10-02-2002, 12:52 PM

The car handles really well on the big end. It goes straight as an arrow down the track unless it blows the tires off. But normally it's really straight and extremely smooth for a tube chassis car.

ultraflo · 10-02-2002, 01:08 PM

Straight as an arrow... in a 1/4 mile? Why, I, er you

shouldn't have any problems driving it then...

Who built the chassis?

Why are you so gun shy about posting a pic, btw? No big deal... but I'm a sucker for wheels-up shots of anyone's ride! Not that pro cars do big wheelies...

Got any 6.5x @ 215+ passes under your belt? Hot damn!!! I yearn for a 9.50 timeslip... 6.50's are just INSANE!!!!!!!!

GOD SPEED

Eric4Nitrous · 10-02-2002, 05:15 PM

I'm not gunshy about posting pics of my ride. Maybe someday

The overall car itself was originally built by Jerry Haas. But, i had it updated with a sleeker front end and a double tube-chassis pro-mod style front end. And Keith "The Real Slimshady" Engling done that.

I also have to thank Tim Matherly from MV Performance for setting up the rearend. The car hardly lifts the front wheels now on launch. It bows up hard but stays on the ground.

LOL! ...cool, I saw him at the Pro event @ Cordova. He was helping out a guy with a flamed fox-body coupe... Glidden was there too. That was my first time seeing those 'celebrities' of the Mustang Drag Racing community in person... I don't get out much other than to Cordova (Gateway once, for a TnT session)... it's my 'home' track... What track do you run your GT at, btw?

Keith is one slim guy... kinda hard not to respect him though, right? He's only one of the best chassis guys in the country at the moment...

Eric4Nitrous · 10-02-2002, 05:35 PM

I don't run my car at alot of 1/4 mile tracks but when i do It's Rockingham. Keith is very well respected in the mustang community as far as building chassis. He's prolly one of the best in the business as of right now. If you see Billy at a track don't be shy to go up to him and talk. Him and Shannon are good people and have done alot for me.

ultraflo · 10-02-2002, 05:42 PM

Glidden is like a Superhero in my book, the guy is just simply amazing!!!!! A living legend, if you will...

L8R!

Eric4Nitrous · 10-02-2002, 06:51 PM

Good thing for the both of us..i know him personally

ultraflo · 10-02-2002, 10:22 PM

...yeah, I remember seeing in your sig that you run a Glidden built mill, awhile back anyhow... It's kinda hard to miss stuff like that

Eric4Nitrous · 10-02-2002, 10:25 PM

He also built the motor in my lawnmower. It's the world's fastest lawnmower on alky

ultraflo · 10-03-2002, 11:28 AM

Do you know anything about the Toyota, I believe, that Glidden built??? Read something about it in The Fastest Street Car rag.

I've seen some of those lawn mower races... looks like fun! They get just a little carried away though...

Eric4Nitrous · 10-03-2002, 12:19 PM

Nah Billy never built no toyota. he was asked by toyota to build a NIRA motor for them but he gladly told them no thanks.

ultraflo · 10-03-2002, 01:21 PM

Eric, you might want to ask Bill about that yourself... and let me know what he has to say about it.

FSC: A lot of folks associate you with Pro Stock, and then your Super Street and Pro 5.0 career. But you've done a lot more in racing than that, haven't you?

Glidden: "Oh yeah, from Winston Cup to Junior Dragsters. Hell, I even did a four-cylinder Toyota."

Eric4Nitrous · 10-03-2002, 02:04 PM

Well maybe, he did

To the best of my knowledge i never had any reckoletion of him building a toyota. But i guess i was wrong. I know he was telling me a while back that Toyota did indeed ask him to build a NIRA spec motor for them and he turned them down. So my apologies.

ultraflo · 10-03-2002, 02:21 PM

Not a problem

...I'm glad he isn't too involved with the imports, that's all we need is some Glidden built/tuned, nitrous injected 4 pots! Anything he's involved with, even remotely, seems to be a rocket ship (you're a fine example of that sir)....

Think he'll ever give up the specs on his infamous duct-tape plate?

NAAAAAH!!!!!!!

Are you using any of the Glidden/Edelbrock nozzles, btw??? Or are you still w/ NOS... you should maybe try an NX system someday

no?

Eric4Nitrous · 10-03-2002, 02:35 PM

I am indeed using the Glidden/Edelbrock nozzles. I'm using the New Edlebrock fogger system currently working on tuning in three stages without hurting the motor. So far it seems to be working quite well. And as the duct plate special goes.....

FORGET IT

ultraflo · 10-03-2002, 03:48 PM

Fuggetaboutit!!!!! ...I should know better

Eric4Nitrous · 10-03-2002, 05:14 PM

If i told you, Billy would have to kill me....then YOU
