Hi Glen, I would really be interested in a Y-Block/FE Get-together in Columbus or in AL. I think it would be a rousing good time. I miss the Y-Block shootout so much cause I don't have a Y-Block powered race car anymore. My 60 Fairlane 4 door Mayberry Sheriff's car had a Y-Block in it but I swapped it out and put a 390 FE in it with a top loader 4 speed.  That is not to say that I won't ever have a Y-Block race car again because I still plan on building one. If we had a Y-Block/FE Shootout our event would do nothing but get bigger and more fun.

     How about a Y shootout at Bandimere Speedway sometime. It would be neat to see how the Y's would run in the Rocky Mountain thin air!

Charlie, I'm going to stay in touch with Sol and if this thing comes together, I'm sure we can get a pretty good showing between us and the 57 Ford crowd. By the way, the Falcon should (will) have made a few passes by that time. I'll be posting an update on it in the next few days and weeks. Things are coming together!

Just wait. Next year I will show up with my Hot Wheels truck!

What truck?

Well, keep us posted on the FE thing. Just under 200 miles is a lot different than the 600 to Columbus. That means there is a higher probability that my truck will make it.

Thanks John, that sounds good too me. It is sure a lot cooler up there in Sep than down here. Maybe the show for the FE guys will work out for them.

Glen:

I got an email from Bob Martin a couple of days ago.  We are on again next year at Columbus.  Labor day weekend as usual.

If this event comes off, it will most likely be in late summer or early fall, around the time of Columbus. I know that many of the participants at Columbus would find this to be quite a drive. but if the rumors about the NMRA are true, we may have to look at other options to keep the shootout going. I don't think that Bob Martin or Harry Hutton frequent the forum, but if someone who has their contact information could contact them to see if they have any information on the status of the NMRA. I am sure that we can get a pretty good showing from us southern boys, but only if it does not interfer with Columbus.

Sounds like a great time!  I like FEs as well as Ys!  Too bad it will be a bit of a schlep for me.
