Tony Fritz, the man behind the Fast Fords racing event in West Salem, Ohio, for the past two years, called me this morning to ask me to pose a question to the Y Blockers. The Y Block Shootout has piggy-backed onto the Fast Fords weekend the last two years, but Tony and the other FE racers who organize the race believe that having the race on Father's Day the past two years has been a detriment to attendance. What they want to receive is feedback on whether or not the Y Blockers would be able to run on Friday and Saturday instead of Saturday and Sunday. Thursday night would then be test and tune. I know that Dave Fuszner and one other Y Blocker has said that Father's Day Sunday is not conducive to attendance, but are there any more that participate, or would participate if the racing was on Friday and Saturday, giving Sunday over to Father's Day?
