It is with a heavy heart letting this group know that John Feistritzer, one of our fellow Y-Blockers and also one of the moderators of this site passed away Saturday August 8, 2026.  Condolences are offered to both his friends and family.

Ted, thank you for letting us know. May John rest in peace. He will be sorely missed among the Y Block community and on this site. I surely appreciate the personal help he was to me in the Y Block world.

John Feistritzer passing has left me with sad feelings. Another friend and Y Block expert.  Even at our age it still hits a person hard to loose some one you think is still cranking on  "God Bless John"                                                             Harry Hutten Jr.    1960 Mercury

That is very disheartening news. John was a really good guy with a vast knowledge of the Y-Block and how to make them go fast. I've missed seeing him for a while. I'm saddened at the loss of another of our "experts" who never gave up on the Y-Block. I miss him.

Y's guys rule!

Very sad news. I met John years ago at the 2002 y-block nationals. Wonderful guy and always willing to share his y-block knowledge. RIP John.

We’ll all miss John. Dianne and I had a ride in the Hoosier Hurricane from the return road back to the pits one year at Columbus. Pretty neat.
