Re: Hemi Challenge odds
Why is there only AH car with Westcott power? Charlie has shown he can win and outrun any hemi car running. I'm just curious why no one has his motors?

Re: Hemi Challenge odds
. I'm sure everyone on the odd's list is very happy the Westcott's arent racing in AH anymore.How many people on this list have beaten the Westcoot's. NOT very many. The odd's maker didnt pick well as Stephen Hebert has never made it past second round. Steve Kent should be at the top of the list. I've got time to type also as I'm an NHRA racer, waiting in lines no matter what you do at any NHRA National Event.
No one admitting they have a Wetcott motor or can no one afford a $60K grenade. Tomorrow will be a great day here at Indy. Lines, Lines and more Lines. Even Jason Line has hemi's in ss and s. Yea Bucky and Travis. |

Re: Hemi Challenge odds
Looks like a drivers race this year, and Joe Teuton is the man to beat.

Re: Hemi Challenge odds
My money is on Bucky. He has done it before and will do it again. Get in Line...

Re: Hemi Challenge odds
For those folks looking to see the AH cars up close, we have been moved. The Copos are where we were normally parked (Chevy US Nats, go figure) and now we are about 100 yards north by the maintenance building. Of course my car will be on display ALL day after 2nd round as ALWAYS. Come by, never a LINE.
And I do agree with informed folks above that Kent has the car to beat Last edited by Spyphish; 08-30-2016 at 12:47 AM. |

Re: Hemi Challenge odds
Hebert was runner up three years ago and most of the guys wish CW was still here. He does have one complete engine customer here and 4 with his pieces. Jr Baum builds his own stuff with Westcott parts.. But the real question is where is WALDO?
