FE Ford reunion

[real61ss]

This isn't 348-409 related, its the FE Reunion that was held at Beaver Springs Dragway and our own Jody Alberts Troublemaker is in it so i thought some of you guys might like to see it.

Not a 390 or 406 in the bunch. Don't think there were many 427's either. Most ran to strong for that. They were laying down some great times.

Thanks for checking it out guys. Here is more coverage of our event. This was our third and biggest year. The event grows each year. I had the idea for this event several years ago and approached Beaver Bob with it. He loved it!! We've managed to build our sponsorship base each year too and actually have folks asking us to help out financially as opposed to us chasing down sponsors.

Our long distance award went to fellow who came in from Australia!! We also had folks from Germany, Switzerland and Canada. It is truly an international event!!

We say this isn't a Ford event, it's a FE event!!!

Use to frequent Beaver Springs back in the late 90's with Leo Sekulski who had a Thunderbolt clone with a 460 in it. If you know him/see him, tell him Don with the 409 says Hey!

Guess if you want to look at it from that angle then there probably wasn't a 348 or 409 in Kansas last fall either

Leo now has the '63 Galaxie clone of Al Joniec's "Peanuts" car FE powered. He was at the event.

Trust me there were plenty of stock displacement 352, 390, 406, 427 and 428s there, even a 332. We had everything from barn find survivors, to NHRA legal stockers to stock F-100s both showing and racing. This event is not just about the 8 second FE, it is about ALL FEs no matter how fast or how slow, stock or restored. We stress that with our promotion of the event. Everyone with a FE is welcome and they are all appreciated.

Leo had also bought a white '63 Galaxie when I was in PA. I wonder if he made it the Peanuts clone. We also hung with a guy named Keith Wynn who had two '63 Plymouths (a 413 Max Wedge and 426 wedge).

It was very cool to see my '63 Chevy, Keith's '63 Plymouth and Leo's 63 Galaxie side by side.

Tommy, I know there was 1 stock displacement 409 there. It was mine.

Bub6le 2op, I've had the dates on my calendar but haven't made a hotel reservation yet. 50/50 chance I've got a conflict on that weekend. If I come, I doubt if I'll bring my car. I'll let you know when my plans firm up.
