Howdy Folks, Just wanted to thank everyone for a great time and I can't wait till next year. A special thanks to Jerry Christenson who I had a ball with and really enjoyed watching him give that scrub racer some grief! I'll bet he won't pit next to Jerry again. By the way I am hooked and I 'll be better prepared next year. Thanks to all, Stan

As for the scrub guy, he arrived Sunday afternoon and they only let him make one test run since he was one of their regulars at the track. Great to meet you Stan, and The old 58 ran flawlessly down there and back, (1900 mile round trip) she;s not the tightest motor, could use a little super poly grip to tighten her up, but a big thanks to all and it was a wonderful time. never thought of seat belts or an overflow tank when we threw the stuff in my truck thursday morning and said lets go. We won't take on any more charity projects the week before columbus again, it almost cost us our trip. Again! great time everyone!

Stan, I put my glasses on and read the fine print on your business card. Hilarious.
See you at Beaver Springs jalopy drags.

Stan: Glad you made it and had a good time. I'm pleased to meet you, and like Dennis, I didn't read the fine print on your card until I found my glasses. You are truly a "jack of all trades". I'm wondering, do you have to have a special license for the last occupation on the right side of the card? If so, send me an application blank.

Stan. It was great meeting you at the Shootout. Your car looks and runs great and glad you made it to the event. You definitely added another degree of diversity to the Y’s that were there. And for those of you that haven’t seen the car, here are some pics.

for Nathan and anybody else, It's a 55 club sedan that was butchered beyond belief! It has an econoline front axle cross steered by a stock 55 ford box with a street rod manufacturing disc brake kit. stock bore 292,stock rods, crank,G heads,isky cam and kit,mallory dist. firing a msd 6al box and accel super coil.Stock henry rockers and stands with Isky pushrods.Quick time bellhousing and flywheel, zoom clutch with a 11" kevlar disc in front of a wide ratio toploader with a NEW Hurst super shifter 3.( Had all I could stand from the shifter that was in for columbus). Denny's heavy duty driveshaft, 9" 57 ford housing with posi and 4.56 gears and S&W race cars gasser bars. The front clip is fiberglass and was race weight when I got the car. It was cleverly mounted so as to fall off on the ground when opened. I don't have any Idea who made the front clip and I can't say I have ever seen another one, I am sure their out there but i don' know where.Stan

I'd like to thank Bob Martin and John Gambill for donating the purse for the 57 Ford Shootout. I emailed John last week thanking him and I posted a thanks to Bob on 57fordsforever web site but it dawned on me this week that Bob might not visit that site. Bob, I appreciate your help starting Thursday evening when you saved me 75 dollars from the get go. I had a really good time and and I'm sure Tom Drummond, Larry Nicolson and Al White did also. Next year if the power brake vacuum line don't break off maybe I'll last a little bit longer. Jim Nolan

Thanks a bunch Stan,love the car!I have two cars thatare similar to yours.I have built a few with that Econoline axle.I use the same steering with stock steering box with good results.I discovered that I could use Aerostar rotors to fit the Econoline axels with a bearing spacer.

If all these gassers and cars showed up at Columbus together one year, there wouldn't be enough room for the Mustangs. We got Charlie to bring the truck (it's real, and it BOOGIES) now it's time for the rest of you guys to step up. Ray, Miker, Nathan, TIM, etc..............
