| We're back home. Great weekend. Gordon Payne and Gary Burnette won everything but the Wet T Shirt Contest. The Y blocks made a terrific showing in the Bracket classes and won the Bracket 3 on Sat (Gary) Paul Johnston won the '57 shootout. and Gary took the Y Block shootout. Hoosier and Bob Martin both have broken cars, hopefully cheap fixes. Lotsa fun, too much food and a lot of good natured ribbing. Saw some GREAT racing. Shoulda been there!

| Ok Frank, so WHO won the wet T-Shirt contest? Or maybe, we don't want to know! Sure wish I could have been there. Hopefully work won't interfere next year.

| | Pegleg: What did you do, take a nap after the racing? Your memory is slightly cloudy. Paul took 2nd in the '57 50th anniversary shootout. Gordon took first by a reaction time tie breaker. Billy Schwing came all the way from Phoenix to grab the third place prize. That's right, thanks to some extra donors in addition to the participants, there was $130 to divvy up, paid three places. Thanks to all who participated. John

| | Hi John, I think your talking about the Gamblers Race. It sure was a great time, I really enjoyed meeting every body and hats off to the Hutten's and Bob Martin for making the event extra special.

| | Al: Don't have it apart, but all indications are broken rod. Made a noise at about the 1/8 mile and vibrated terribly. Kicked it in neutral and coasted off the track. When I tried to crank it, I heard a knock once per revolution. After some discussions it was suggested I crank it over to see if the belts turn to check for broken crank. When I did, it fired once. So I got brave and started it, one cylinder was not firing and the vibration was terrible, even at idle. Knock was gone. 5 pounds oil pressure. I drove it up on the truck for the trip home. Y's are built Ford tough! We missed you again this year, but check with the Alix brothers. I don't think anyone treated them poorly. John
