Ted, thank you for letting us know. May John rest in peace. He will be sorely missed among the Y Block community and on this site. I surely appreciate the personal help he was to me in the Y Block world.

John Feistritzer passing has left me with sad feelings. Another friend and Y Block expert.  Even at our age it still hits a person hard to loose some one you think is still cranking on  "God Bless John"                                                             Harry Hutten Jr.    1960 Mercury

That is very disheartening news. John was a really good guy with a vast knowledge of the Y-Block and how to make them go fast. I've missed seeing him for a while. I'm saddened at the loss of another of our "experts" who never gave up on the Y-Block. I miss him.

Very sad news. I met John years ago at the 2002 y-block nationals. Wonderful guy and always willing to share his y-block knowledge. RIP John.

We’ll all miss John. Dianne and I had a ride in the Hoosier Hurricane from the return road back to the pits one year at Columbus. Pretty neat.
