its not how fast you go, its how you go fast.

Keith, I have the truck bodies and frames for a production pick-up but I'd just be racing other Y-Blocks. Paul Farley sent some great pics from the Shootout.

What a classy line up you had. I agree, you have probably created another monster for you to feed. Great turnout for a 1st time event. I can't help but believe this forum and Y-block magazine are the catalysts. Chuck

Y's guys rule!

Joe Cebe made it to the final round in his 57 T-Bird against Todd Ferguson in the white 56 T-Bird. Joe dialed around 9.80 based on what he had been running all day. Joe broke out by nearly .6 of a second and was the happiest loser you will ever see. All smiles after running by far his best time ever in the car.Our pits weren't really busy most of the day until the lunch break when everyone gathered around for burgers and hotdogs sponsored by JBA and Crower. Food brings 'em running.
Everyone that made it to Barona had a good time. Buzz only had plans to race his Crown Vic this year but I suspect he'll be back next year.
Thanks to everyone who sent pictures and videos. We have so many we could do pages of pictures.

Slight correction to the above post. Buzz Brandt was the runner-up in the Bracket 1 (winners) final of the shootout. Joe and Todd raced in the first round where Joe ran too quick. Joe kept getting quicker all day. He eventually ran a 9. 285. Buzz and Todd won both of their rounds in the "double elimination" bracket race which put them into the main final. Joe won the second round when Charley Bignall red lighted. Joe raced John in the '31 coupe for the "Bracket2" (one loss) round and was elated even though he lost the round because he ran a best time of 9.285 for his '57 "E" code T-bird. I'm attaching the Shootout results in an Excel sheet for those who want to see what the time were. The '31 Coupe actually ran a 6.36 in earlier rounds before the Shootout.
