I know that Bob Martin does not frequent the site much, but there is quite a bit that he does behind the scenes to help organize the annual Y Block Shootout here in Ohio. Tony Fritz, the overall Fast Fords financier and coordinator, sent me an updated promotional flyer just last week and he also asked Bob and I to meet him on February 1st to review a number of the details. From what we are seeing here in Ohio, the interest from folks here in the midwest is certainly growing - especially among the FE crowd. Hopefully more of our Y Block faYthful can make the race weekend.

for now, here is a jpeg of the details...

Just throwing out this idea.
I'm wondering if anyone is passing through my vicinity on the way to the block shootout? I live in Tulsa, OK. I could possibly meet up on another out-of-the-way route if possible. I'd be happy to chip in for gas and whatever it might be worth to you as a passenger and help with the drive (if you trust me!) I'd get myself a room of course. Was thinking of driving my Bird as it's satisfying to have it there, but it's a bit of a slog by myself OR maybe someone would want to share the ride with me.
Just wondering and thinking of ideas.
Also considering flying but from what I've checked so far even that isn't convenient by the time you rent a car to get from Cleveland. Have a new Bronco to drive too, but I'll be leaving that for my wife.
