Charlie made a comment on a previous thread that it would be cheaper to build a pro stock engine than it is to build a SS/AH engine. Now I guess he is going to give it a try. I for one will be rooting for him.

As a longtime, diehard Ford fan, I will definitely be rooting for him.

I'll root for him as well but don't expect he'll give a lot of credit to Ford....perhaps you'll recall a bowtie painted on his Cuda. Dude definitely is his own man. Who knows, if he pulls it off the Barton's will surely field a Dodge in PS...presto, a new rivalry is born and PS gets revived. After all, life is stranger than fiction!

Heck yeah !!! me too !!! The pic of the Cunningham car was posted on CW's FB page last night, he mentioned in the thread about all the parts that he had obtained. He said on a internet Drag Racing show last week, he bought everything that Ford Racing had !!!

I don't doubt that Charlie can be a factor in any class he chooses, however I don't think he will find out its cheaper to build a Pro Stock engine then an AH engine. But that's just me.

At Houston this year I talked to one of my sons friends who work for Allen Johnson. When he said they spend 150k plus for valve springs a year I said ill stick with SS. That's crazy. But turning a 500" engine 11,700 will do that. He said the red car is closer to 12,000.

Hemis rev's are pretty high as well now and with less than an ideal valve train geometry. Will be interesting to see the CW PS entry in action.

Why a Ford for CW?

I dont know Wescott other than I know he runs / did.......... in the SS/AH stuff.
He'll be lucky to ever win a round in PS............does he really think he knows anything Morgan doesn't? Yeah , right.
Better off sticking with the Hemi's in SS.
