Jim , CONGRATULATIONS. What a milestone. It sure doesn't seem like 7 years. I don't know what we would do without this site. To you Jim, and the team (Ted Eaton, John Feistritzer, Bob Martin, John Mummert, etc, etc) a very big and honest Thank You. You have brought together a bunch of people, young and old, from the 4 corners of the world who are the true believers. Surely, one day the rest of the world will see what a great motor the Y-Block is! Proud to be a member. Lon

And another big Thank You from myself also. Great site and a great bunch of site members. Special thanks goes to the members for keeping the site on track and clean of the petty bickering that takes place on other sites.

All of us is what makes this thing work. I've only had to ban three people in seven years, that has to be some sort of record among forums. Just check some of the other forums, they have to keep a fire department on retainer for all of the flame wars!!! The fact that we just don't have those is a testament to the class of people that love the Y. I have provided the hangout, but without our sages (ones mentioned in previous posts and more), this would be nothing. I have been truly blessed over this last seven years to have added many names to those people that I can truly call my friends. A special thanks to Ted (Doc) Eaton for putting up with me coming down and asking more questions than a two year old every time! I am SO lucky to only live a bit over an hour from Ted.
Got an e-mail this morning that Australia is to be represented at the shootout this year, and I will bring the 56 if we get aluminum heads in time to get the motor together. After missing last year, I am REALLY looking forward to seeing many of you again!
