I received this in the mail today and would like to pass it on.
I'm plan to attend. Ralph Alix told me today that he ran the black 57 at MoKan dragway for some good times, his first time to drive it. Sounds like a good story for YBlock Magazine!
Also to his surprise was awarded a plaque for the 'best" vintage dragcar!

I would sure love to be there for that one. Sam was one of us and a celebration for him is perfect!!

I think thats the best picture of Sam I've seen. It is the picture I have in my head of his last visit to Columbus. Wish I could be there. Chuck

Alan.  Thanks for posting this.  You’ll have to give an update when this occurs for those of us that cannot make it.

Sure Ted, I hope to go and take some pics. An like Sam I do like chocolate pie!

Ralph isn't on the net much so I'm doing this with his approval. I really would like him to be able to get with Bob Martin and have Ralphs & Sam's Ford experience related in YBlock Magazine.
