Sounds like it should be a good time. Any of you guys east of the left coast think you can make it?

2 months to go. We gotta get this engine done soon and test out some of our new ideas.. Hopefully it all works out.

Billy, we're building a Y-Block to replace the 377 inch Cleveland that John Hildebrand is currently running in his Model A. In fact he will be at the Bakersfield March Meet this weekend, with the Cleveland still in the car. We had a pipe dream of getting to Bakersfield with the Y in place but our pistons have been "some time next week" for over a month.The new Y is 344 inch with a Crower crank and rods, skunk works heads and if time allows a custom 2-4 intake.
Still a long way to go on the new project so we will be happy to get it to the Shoot Out.

Just to forewarn, I booked Ted's and my room in Heath for Expo. Looking forward to seeing everyone this year, I have missed too many of these!

On another note, I received the flyer for the west coast shootout today and have requested info from Bob Martin on other events for this season so that I can put the 2013 events page online.

I'll retire at 5:00 pm on August 23 so that I have no issues with making the shootout for this year.

That would be great Jim. Its been too many years since you were able to make the trip. Are you planning to ride up with Ted or will we see your Y this year? Chuck

I'd love to be there but towing from New Hampshire would be a bit costly. What does the T-shirt look like and can non-attendies get one? Chuck
