Just got back from the Meltdown Drags. What a great time, nice track, racer friendly. Got to hang out with a lot of great Y Block guys. My 56 Gasser made it down the track a few times with out breakage. To much gear, to low of a rev chip, hit second and the car became a jack rabbit. But I drove it in the trailer so I guess I won. Also won a set of 15x8 Towel City Pie crust slicks. The guys made me buy ice cream, said the new guy always buys ???? Vic and I took my car to Sam's Root Beer drive-in Friday, was going to let Vic drive but then I remembered what he did to his T-Bird drive train. Larry Short

My arms are too short for that shifter to reach 1st gear and I couldn't see over the dash either! It is one cool ride for sure. Big Jim backed up last years win and that is all I have to say about that.

Looks like a really great time. I may have to bucket list this one. Did I see a little Y-Block sedan beat a big ole FE? Great.

If you go to the FE forum, under - Few HD videos from Meltdown drags. Video 2 about 11 min. in you will see two blue and white 57 Ford running down the strip. I think one guy is eating a sandwich and drinking a root-beer and the other one is taking a selfie as they are racing.

Go to 4:16 on the video . I am racing a 57 Ford with a 428.. I have a 56 Merc with 433 inch Lincoln Y block, 3 on the tree.

Jim Cochran won the shootout plus shut down at least 4 scrubs.

Vic also blew away a couple of Satan's triplets.  (55-57 scrub)

We could really use a few more Y Blocks for next year.  this is a great fun event, and Bob Martin does a great job getting us track time and recognition

Billy, the nuke plant is a mile and a half south of the track. I live exactly 5 miles straight west. (in the meltdown kill zone) I sleep fine at nite!

Billy,
Just another rule, they don't allow videos of Fords beating Scrubs to be videoed.
