If it is it couldn't be from a nicer guy. After chatting here with Danial for years I finally got to meet him this weekend. He's one of the good guys for sure and an avid Y's guy on top of it. His dad ain't too shabby either. Definitely Ford blue bloods!

Y's guys rule!

ALL HAIL, The "reverend" LOL
 Is this the beginning of an attempt by the religious right to take control of Y-Blocks Forever, Y-Block Magazine and the Y-Block Shootout? Just asking.

Ted, you are too kind my friend! Thank you for the interest you take in Y Block Fords and for spending time with the "new guys" to the Y Block shootouts. I know that I speak for Soffian as well - we enjoyed it immensely! My schedule should take to me the Dallas/Fort Worth area again in late February of 2022. I am going to try to arrange an early arrival for myself, sending the rest of my staff along later for that particular trip. This should give me time to visit your shop for a day or two if that's alright - I promise I won't get in the way!

Daniel.  Great job on the video.  You could have been a film director in another life.

Fast Fords at Dragway 42 in June of 2021 was my first experience in legal drag racing be it Y Block or otherwise. I was privileged to rub shoulders with some of the finest drivers and mechanics in the world, many of whom are on this forum. When the time came for the Y Block Shootout I wondered who I would be paired against in the first round - Correnti? Burnette? Bauer? I had no idea but thought to myself. I'm at a handicap here - this will be only my 3rd run in legal drag racing.

As the Y block cars are called to the lanes my name and car number was also called to announce that I had a bye. "Great!" I says to myself. "I'm gonna get another run in to make sure I am hitting it consistently before I go up against someone for real." 

Welp, I got to the staging lines and get told, "Uh, we miscounted, looks like you are going to go up against that guy in the altered..."

"Say what?"  





My son, who could not attend because of his work schedule, texted me later on in the day to say, "Ummm, Dad, you got gapped!"
