Last chance, this year, to see a pure stock muscle car drag race in the midwest will happen Fri Sept 15th. Eliminations, best two out of three races, will happen tomorrow, Sept 16th. The track is the Mid-Michigan Motorplex in Stanton Michigan. This is located just to the northeast of Grand Rapids, Michigan. They have a web site at either PSMCDR or Mid Michigan, with maps and times. John Feistritzer (57 T'Bird F code) and Frank Rice (57 Custom 300, F code) along with a ton of Cobra Jets, 427 Marauders, Blower Studebakers and more will be there.

  Be nice to have some moral support from anybody NOT wearing a Bowtie shirt!

Not only is Frank's car a 3 on the tree, there was another one there.  A guy by the name of Brian Stefina brought a '58 Merc 430, 400 horse tri power three on the tree car, similar to Royce's except it is two tone green.  Beautiful isn't enough of an adjective to describe the car.  He coaxed a 14.07 out of it on his final pass, this was the first time out for the car.  Brian has been racing a '64 Merc Maurader 427/425, it goes 13.0s.  Wonder if we can get him to bring the '58 to our next shootout.  If we let Royce run his, we have to let Brian run.

Sounds like a new trend in high perfomance column shifted cars.  I'm definitely game for having the orphan Lincoln engines running alongside the Y's as it would definitely add to the car count while adding some diversity to a field of cars that's already quite diversified.  Like you said, Royce has already broken the ground in that regard.
