I'm with you Stan,the other engine that impresses me is how fast some of the studabakers are. I always like someone taking the different route and making it work.

Not a problem Stan. I did get a reply from one of the leaders. He assured me that other brands were welcome and didn't think that anyone in his group would say such a thing seriously. I pasted your quote and told him I sure wouldn't want someone representing me with such a negative attitude. Anyway, thats done and done. We bored old guys like a good fight on occasion. I believe if you see this group again they may be a bit more diplomatic. God knows they can keep their scrubs we need someone to beat anyway! Chuck

hey guys, I was'nt looking to start a war, I just thought you all would get a chuckle out of how highly they think of their scrubs. I surely don't need to join any more car clubs, I would rather run with people who are'nt afraid to play with toys that are a little different. Anybody can buy a scrub off the shelf race motor,bolt it in and go as fast as they want, Not everybody can make stuff thats a little off the beaten path run.The stuff they are running still has huge support by the performance industry. Other then guys like Ted Eaton,John Mummert,Jerry Chistenson and the rest of you that keep striving to squeeze a little bit more out of a design that even Henry's boys gave up on speaks volumes. They think their so hot  lets see em' put Y-Blocks in place of their  scrubs and keep up with us! O.K. I am getting off my soap box now.

I went to their website. Look under contacts there are two of them. Chuck

Chuck, What was the address you replied to, I would suppose if they got an overload of messages like yours, they may listen a little.

There is a guy in my neck of the woods with a real pretty 50 ford gasser (Ted you listening, very similar to your 2 door, I'll have to get pics for you) and yes it is scrubbed out, what a shame.

But don't worry, we have to get shirts made up of Dougs RIP cartoon saying "Were back" and get more gassers and cars with these killer Y blocks, they will start waking up, especially after the engine masters.

Good job Chuck!

hi chuck, we were pitted next to a guy with a pretty neat falcon gasser, till he took the hood off, you guessed it scrub power. there were guys running some hemis too but for the most part scrub city. there was one guy there with a old school dragster with a blown olds in it, 394 I think that was really nice but for the most part it was the same unimagative stuff. I guess I like different to much. Stan P.S. They also want you to be no faster then 9.50 or slower then 12.50. I am glad you guys are'nt that picky.

Way to go Chuck, by the way we had a cackle fest at the ODRR show, I was parked next to a Blown Hemi with zoomies, so I fired off after he shut down. The people standing behind the cars told me that the yblock was louder and sounded better than the Hemi, of course it reved so quick that I bounced it off the chip a couple of times.

Stan, Have you visited this thread on the HAMB, Hot Rods Pix of '55-'57 Ford Gassers - the "other" Tri-Fives. Your car would fit right in.
