In issue 148 of YBM, the dates were indicated to be May 31 - June 2. Pinks All Out bought that Saturday, so the Nationals is the weekend after, which is June 7-9.
I noticed the discrepancy on the Edgewater website and confirmed with Bob.

The 2019 Y-block Shoot Out is June 7,8,9 with format I guess like last year with details worked out as they go. Bob called me last week and said they hadn`t changed the scuedal yet. Test & Tune Fri. Racing on Sat and racing on Sunday. I believe Bob was going to E-mail every one Harry Hutten

He said he is going to e-mail everyone he can. YBM should be updated, too but it may be too late by the time the issue with the update gets out.

Any suggestions for a hotel/motel in the area. My first time attending and am not at all familiar with the area. Thanks.

Harrison,Oh is the best location. There is a Super 8, Best Western, and Holiday Inn Express. Many of us stayed at the Super 8 last year. It was ok, a typical lower end Motel.

Anybody looking at the weather for next weekend in Cincinnati? 80% chance of thunderstorms on Saturday and Sunday is what I'm seeing. What are the local odds that they are wrong? Long drive from New Hampshire for a rainout.

I've been wondering about that, too. Friday and Saturday look a little better than they did a couple days ago. I see 20, 60 and 80 percents right now.
Has it ever been a total rain out? I know at least one day has been a few times.

Hard to trust weather reports in this area, this time of year. They're looking at a system that's 500 or so miles away from Cinci.

Alas, but I will be in Georgia this weekend. I hate to miss this event, it is right in my backyard since I live about 3 miles off of I275. Have a good time fellas, maybe next year.
the weather here can be very unpredictable...

Weather for Y-Block The Wed. 5 & 6 pm local weather has rain out of Friday and small change of spot showers Sat. Sunday better chance, but decreasing every forecast . The closer it gets toward the week end the less rain in the forecast. ,which sounds good because the Cincinnati weather forecasters compete with each other as to who has the worst forecast ,to make life miserable . Last week we were forecasted to get rain all weekend & didn`t get a drop. Harry 20 miles from the track

I hope the weather is beautiful and you guys have a great weekend. The way I figured it is if I went it would rain buckets but if I stayed home It would be beautiful. Hopefully its my gift to all you guys.

Moonshadow, thanks for the good wishes. Friday time trials was a zoo with so many locals running. Sat we dodged some light showers and got the races in. Today the track cancelled the show.

How about Vic, In time trials he ran in the tracks stick class. Cut a .000 light and took out a Brand X car. I think I heard the X driver mumbling something about those Dam Y-Block guys ! Larry Short
