Nothing to be ashamed of here. Great showing for the first time out. Westcotts will figure it out.

Charlie is too smart to not be able to figure it out; he will be alright. It's just a matter of time.

Pro Stock is a bore.

I wish Charlie all the best in his effort, but he is going to have a long and expensive learning curve to deal with. I am curious if he feels that the new efi rule is a positive or a negative to his new operation.


I am sure that he will give it his best effort as he catches up with the rest of the field in the toughest category in NHRA. The class needs a Ford in Pro Stock to attract and retain fans.

14 128 John Gaydosh Jr, Baltimore MD, '13 Camaro 6.875 203.06 207.37 15 3651 Charlie Westcott Jr., Parma MI, '12 Mustang 6.883 203.25 203.25

Nice showing first time in competition.
What needs to be stressed here is that someone took a "defunct" brand and built it into a qualifying ProStocker, then proceeded to throw a 6.883 at a 6.875. That's a win in my book.

.......and too predictable. Pro Mod is a better show.

Not to be nitpicky with all the accolades for him qualifying first time out. But all he had to do is show up and pass tech.
I do wish him well and commend him for doing it his way. But right now anyone with a car that passes tech is a qualifier.

Half these cars can't make the 1/8 mile mark in their own lane. I don't know who is responsible for chassis dynamics but I get the feeling that "chassis dynamics" is too big a term for them.

ProStock is essentially ProMod with body and engine restrictions. And stick shifts.

ProMod with 500 cid gas EFI and clutches would be interesting.
