As you know I've been working on an idea to get the Northeast Y-Block guys togather at Oxford Plains dragway in Oxford Plains, Maine on June 24th 2007.  I've just been informed of another show in Canterbury, New Hampshire the same date called "Thunderama 2007". Its run by a T-Bird club but is open to all cars. I've contacted the president of the club to see if they can accomodate us as a seperate group.

I need to have an idea of possible attendance, at either location, and your preference of the two (or another selection). Please respond! Chuck in NH

Y's guys rule!

Come on guys, Lets get some interest here!  2 votes?????   How do we reach out?  Even if it remotely possible to make it there, vote anyway and make plans later if you can.  My wife is a schoool teacher & that it is her first weekend off, but she would definately accompany me to something like this.  I know there are a lot of y-blockers out there and we all should try to get together  and have some fun & show the classic car world that we are here and are very proud to be part of something so special!!!        Mike

     

I definately go to Oxford each show shine and drags.

I'm quite disapointed in the response. I like drags but I think I'll try Canterbury unless we are overrun with votes in the next few weeks. At least I tried! Chuck

I'll go to either show, but my concern with the t-bird show is: if these guys are anything like the connecticut t-bird club, we'll be shoved in some remote corner by the prima donnas and treated like red-headed step-children for daring to defile "their" engines.

I talked to the president of the Club. They are a local club, split off from T-Birds International. No meeting, no dues just have fun. Their show is open to cars other than T-Birds this year and he said they would be glad to have us. As far as being presented in the front row I really don't care. If we can all group togather it will give us a better oportunity to meet and discuss New England Y-Block ideas.

I dont mind the purist! Actually we are too in a way since we only go for Y-Block power. Anyway from my conversation I don't expect to be met that way. There are always a few "bad apples" though. They are usually easy to ignore. Chuck

Don't get me wrong, Chuck. I dont expect to have us show up & be treated like royalty. I've just had a few run-ins with the local t-bird club, and they've all left a bad impression. These guys were way beyond rude. I'm sure that's left me a little wary of t-bird clubs in general.

I trust your opinion of the folks you spoke with, and I'm looking forward to going to either show. It would be great to have a Y-block meet for us east coast guys!

When is this poll over with?  I would like to make plans as this is only little more than a month away.  I live 4 hrs away and would make reservations at a motel, etc.  Got my mercomatic rebuilt so I should be set to go, Just empty the wallet for that golden petro of the Bush oil magnate era!   Hope to see you there, Wherever!       Mike
