Charlie, I got serious when I took the spare tire off. That was hard for me. 1st time it was off since 2003.

And I too wish to express my thanks to all that made this a very enjoyable time.  Always great to see old friends as well as making new ones.  And a big ‘Thank You’ to Barbara for guaranteeing that everyone was getting enough to eat and drink as well as keeping an ear to the radio and insuring that the Y racers were getting lined up for their respective brackets in a timely manner.

 

I’ve already sent a couple disks of pics to Jim so He can put them on the site so be looking for these somewhere in the near future.  And for all of you that took digital pictures (doubt seriously there were many of the other kind anyhow), please forward them to me by way of snail-mail on disks and I’ll put a ‘Best of the Best’ together and get these sent out.  Just email me for my snail-mail mailing address or get it from one of the following links.

You're getting serious with a gear change, Dennis.  I'm quite impressed with the performance of your truck.  6volts and a 239, getting rubber off the line with a low 18 second time.  Wow, I did not intend on that to rhym.

Chuck, It was great seeing you in Columbus.That strange sound was the T-bird Y-block laying waste to the Mustangs !!!  Lets not let those guys forget Vintage Muscle ha! ha!!!   I'll try to find the carb in a day or two and get it on it's way too you.

As usual I had a great time! The Y-Block gang is the best! Gary's Bird has the strangest sound and launches so hard! I can't wait to see Charlie's shots on your tube. I'll see you all next year. Chuck

Y's guys rule!

Al:

Thanks for the support.  My next project will be going over my combine to make sure it is ready for harvest, so the It has a growl deep inside, there's a bearing going bad somewhere.  Hurricane may not be subjected to an autopsy very soon.  There are no secrets inside that engine, stock crank, C2AE rods, ancient Crane cam, .030 over TRW forged replacement pistons.  My wife now has a digital camera, maybe I can learn how to take and transmit pictures.

I still had a great time with all the guys, meeting new friends, and watching the racing.  Also enjoyed seeing Gordon have a ball racing my Bird.

Hey John, Sorry for your hardship, but when you set the pace you do, something, sometime has to give.

Keep us posted on the rebuild. I'd like to see some pics of the internals on that baby. Probably top secret though!
