Hey Vic,
Someone told me the way you ripped the trans and rear end out of the Bird was you tried to get it out of the trailer, it wouldn't move so you revved it up and dumped the clutch. Busted everything, only to find the front of the Bird was still tied down. Told us you did it racing to save face, any truth to these roomers ? Had a great time with you and the guys all weekend at the Meltdowns..

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

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

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. Larry Short

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.
Y's guys rule! Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

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.
