Is the Y-block section going to be in the same area as described here? http://www.y-blocksforever.com/tech/html/pt1.html
I'll be leaving Atlanta Friday morning around 9:00am. Would anyone like to try to meet up along the way?

Charlie, we should be in that general area. You won't miss the y block vehicles. Are you sure you only want to leave friday? We're leaving Thursday 7am. You'll need to practice Friday and you would miss the evening meal Thursday.

I won't be able to race this year. I don't have seat belts. I don't have a coolant catch can. I don't have time to get either installed in time. I haven't done any tuning because the fuel pressure is not stable. I don't want to take the chance that it's too lean. If I can't figure out what's going on with the fuel pressure the truck won't be there.
I didn't realize there is a meal though. Is there a meal only on Thursday? It's probably too late now anyway. I can probably get the day off but the hotels are probably booked. A friend's coming with me. He may not be able to take Thursday off with such short notice.
I don't expect to arrive until 6:00pm or so Friday. It looks like the track is closed at that time.

Charlie, Many of us stay at the Super 8 Motel in Newark, Ohio (Heath). They had rooms as of yesterday. You can call them at Super 8 Motel
1177 Hebron Rd
Newark, OH 43056
(740) 788-9144
We have an awards dinner on Saturday night too. And little "lets eat" deals on Friday. I will be arriving Wednesday night but getting there is the most important part! Come when you can you'll enjoy all you get! Chuck in NH

Actually, that's the Hotel I'll be staying at Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night. I think I'll just stick with the plan. There should be plenty of time to meet all of you guys in person. I need to work Thursday so I can have more money to spend on the truck. In addition to the fuel pressure, I have to finish the fuel cell install, re-torque the heads, check the valves, change oil, check gear oil. I'll be busy.

I’ll also be staying at the Super Eight in Heath. Will be heading out early Wednesday morning and will drop the trailer off at the track on Thursday afternoon. I’ve changed trucks this year so don’t be looking for ‘Big Red’ as I’ll be in ‘Great White’ this year. See y’all there and looking forward to seeing both old and new faces.

When I get in town Friday evening, between 5:00 and 6:00, should I go to the track or will y'all be elsewhere?

Charlie, the track is supposed to close at 5pm friday. We usually discuss where we are going to eat that evening earlier in the day. A bunch of us stay at either of the 2 motels, you would probably find us there if we haven't left to eat. I can give you my cell number off list.

Bill: You want photos? On the home page for this site, click on "Events", then click on Ford EXPO, then go to the bottom of the page and click on 2006 EXPO. There you will find several pages of photos to look at, but it's probably too late to get you fired up to come this weekend. Enjoy. John

Ted, Be careful with that word "familiar". That can take a conversation where we don't want to go. I prefer seasoned or experienced. As in Hoosier has more experience than almost anybody!! Charlie, My cell phone number is in my ad in YBM, bring the magazine with you. Second option, leave a message at either motel for somebody along with your cell number.

Frank, Is it in the older issues? I'm ashamed to say that I am not currently subscribed. I didn't renew after the engine failure a few years ago. I'm actually hoping I can renew while at Columbus.
