Y BLock Shootout

[charliemccraney]

This is held as a part of the NMRA Ford Expo in Columbus, Oh on Labor Day weekend. There will be everything from stock street vehicles to dragsters. If you're truck is Y-Block powered, try to make the drive, or trailer it to the event and enjoy the fun. It is bracket racing so you will not have to abuse your truck to participate. Consistency is key. If you don't want to race, there will be a car show. And if you don't want to race or show, you can at least cruse around town and join the crew for dinner. Lincoln Y powered vehicles are welcome as well.

Once again, I will attempt to make the drive, race, take a lot of pictures, and drive back but I will be there with or without the truck.

There is usually a 3-2, 239 powered F100. A turbo charged 1960 F100 has been present the past 2 years and I've heard that it may be sporting twins with a new engine this year. Last year a real nice Ranchero showed up. The truck to car ratio is small. Let's see if we can get a bigger truck presence.

That sounds very interesting! I just might have to go to! I just picked up a 292 64 truck that had been restored but then got into a bad accident and totalled the frame. I plan on combining the 292 truck and another 64 I have that was originally a 223 truck and make one sweet ride with minimal cost.

Throw it in there and come on down. But I warn you, if you come once, you will be hooked!
Even if you don't get the Y in there, come on down. I've been the past 3 years without a Y powered vehicle.
