I won't be making Columbus again this year, I have taken Nokia's early buyout and am busy trying train several people to take over my work. My last day is October 15, so next year my 56 Fairlane with a fire breathing 292 (just ask Ted) will be at Columbus. Ted has the video camera again this year so make sure you get a round or two with it in your back window if you liked seeing the runs that I put up on youtube from last season.
Ya'll have a great time, I know you will! See you next year!
Oh, and I am gonna have more time to take better care of this website too!

Jim: So you have already turned in you notice. What can they do to you if you miss a couple of days, fire you? Hope you enjoy your retirement as much as I enjoy mine.

Like John said, if they want you to train those guy's they can wait a few days, I am sure you had the shootout planned first.

I can sypathize Jim, I REALLY wish I could make it this year!!! Would LOVE to kick Lonnie's butt again!!! LOL On a positive note, I finally found another Y-Block enthusiast in my area that is into Y performance!!! Most guys / gals I meet are pure stockers, and that is fine too, but it is nice to meet someone who likes to hot rod Y-Blocks around here!!! I have convinced him to join the site and you should see him here soon. He has a 56 4 door, driver and a 56 hardtop in process. I hope to get Alex and myself back down to Columbus soon!

Guys: I don't know about room availability, but tomorrow morning I a going to cancel my room at the super 8 in Heath. Two double beds. A call at the right time might snare it if rooms are in short supply. I am going, I just have other arrangements now.

Hoosier, I got a room for thursday night, planned on staying at the track Friday but was thinking maybe taking a room again on Saturday night but they said the hotel was booked up and also the Buckey lake one was booked up. so I may want it for Saturday night if thats available.
