Yes, Bob Glidden was walking around in Larry Morgan’s pit area in Pomona.

Yes, Morgan was very happy about it.

“I love him like a dad,” Morgan admitted, about their peculiar relationship which has had more break-ups and reunites than rocker Tommy Lee and wife Pamela Anderson.

“He’s more than welcome to be here. I’ve even told him I’d get him a car if he wanted it,” Morgan added. Yes, Bob Glidden was walking around in Larry Morgan’s pit area in Pomona.

Glidden smiled. The ten-time Pro Stock world champion is grabbing life’s gusto after a recent pacemaker replacement surgery has him feeling better than ever.

So invigorated is the elder statesman that he’s racing an Outlaw 10.5 doorslammer next weekend at the Pacific Street Car Association event in Las Vegas.

“We just had to get him out of Indiana for a while,” Morgan said.

“I’ve known Larry for a while and when I had my surgery and they rolled me into the recovery room, I looked over and he was waiting there for me,” Glidden said. “He was the first person I saw. I was really glad to see him.”

Glidden added there’s a very good chance that he’ll be racing more in 2009, likely in the Outlaw 10.5 ranks with son Billy who recently scored the ADRL Extreme Outlaw 10.5 world championship.

“I love racing all of these cars,” Glidden admitted. “I’m feeling really good.”
