Jmho, but MOPAR needs to get their heads out of their rears, and make a decent cylinder head casting, instead of more of that outdated hemi crap. If they don't flow like the GM heads (I'm told they do not), they won't run like the GM cars. Give their loyal MOPAR racers a break. Several years ago, I over heard, probably the top cylinder head guy in the U.S. at the time, tell one of his customers I'm well aquainted with, that he used the same CNC program to port both Dodge and Chevy Pro Stock heads. They also ran very close numbers back then. It's not the EFI holding the Dodges back. Sure have to hand it to Anderson & Line for their hard work. It certainly shows right now. Guys that work harder and smarter go faster.

The Anderson & Line Show......I like Jason, he watches Stock and will talk to you.
The Erica Elite Show...........Killer lights.
The Jeggie Show...........Great sportsman.
The Wayne County Show......?????
The WJ Show......he hardly ever smiles.
The Bob Glidden Masterpiece Show........hard knuckles.
The Bill Jenkins Show.........a Vega.

But not as dominant as the John Force Regime

And the current series of The Hines/Hines/Hines/ Kraweic Show.

But the best is the Frank Manzo Performance Show.

I watched Charlie Westcott just blow everybody away at the first Cajun Sportsnational in a Mopar with a huge Bowtie decal on his dash for the TV cameras. I think he will do just fine.

Ron Ortiz
U/SA the show must go on.

Some say Charlie is a little out spoken. Don't know never met or talked to him but seems to me only problem is for others in the class he wants to runs as like Jason he can always in time make his car as quick as or faster than the comp. No body yet has been able to put the blue oval in the P/S winners circle that I know of but if it is possible I think he will get it there and that's with almost no help if any from FORD

HOPE IN TIME HE WILL DO IT! WOULD LOVE TO SEE A FORD TAKE A WALLY just to make the class a little more interesting to watch cause right now it ain't so

I didn't want to inject anymore "spew" into this thread BUT........And I see Wescott reads these posts............if Ford has such little interest in Pro Stock.....read that ZERO , why give them the satisfaction of "showcasing" their product?
And from a Chrysler guy.........why not just stick with a Dodge?

..Or a 4 dr Maverick? ... A Ford Fairmount ... ?

Because he has always been an innovator and enjoys the challenge.

Also, from what I have read, Chrysler did nothing but try to sell him parts for a ridiculous amount of money when he asked about going pro stock racing. Nice payback for all the time, effort and money he put into dominating the hemi challenge, and making the whole program a lot more competitive.

Ford, on the other hand, sold him a bunch of bare heads and blocks at a significant discount, as they were going to be scrapped after their decision to drop out of NHRA drag racing.
