Do you ever have something constructive to say ? Charlie Westcott has nothing to prove, maybe you should check your connecting rods !!

Do you live in a **&$ing cave. You are a huge ***** clown.
Charlie is one of the best engine buliders in the country. If anyone can do it he can.
Has beens or never was , will always hate

Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
 

just a couple things,

"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"

At the price that the springs cost, thats 272 sets, so theres 22 races (I think) so do the math.

Most of the time when someone is bragging about how much the spend on something, its because they have nothing else to talk intelligently about.

And as Chuck D said, haters gonna hate.

My success or failure is not directly related to opinions of people on the internet.
That being said, to the people that want me to do well, Thank you, it means alot.
For the people that say I cant, Thank you for the motivation

Charles Bob

With one car it will be a challenge for the Westcotts but it's cool to see some Michigan based entries back in Pro Stock. hope they keep the stacker and don't waste money on a 500,000 big rig. I'll be cheering them on.

No asshole , I dont live in a cave. Yes I've heard of / seen his SS/AH stuff over the years . I deliver what you consider a "tactless" message , but the facts are what they are. I can only imagine the contrast between building competitive engines for SS/AH and Pro Stock is fairly significant.........good luck.
Do you really believe that if the most "prominent" engine builders in Pro Stock ever moved over to SS/AH the ladder / elimination results would be the same?

Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
 

joespan, Would you consider Jason Line a prominent engine builder?
He has worked all year on a SS/AH combo, and it is not close to
Charlie's stuff. Charlie is a brilliant engineer of horsepower and hard
work, and I for one wish him much success. J.R.

Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
 

Hey, I seem to remember a pretty good Super/Stock racer who made the switch. What was his name.....hmm....let me think??? Oh I remember it was a guy named Glidden. Seems that he did at least qualify once in a while.:rolleyes:

Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
 

The negative faction were very critical of Charlie Wescott when he stepped out of Chevy SS into the Hemi wars. I remember it well. There were some pretty extreme comments made on this site about predicting his failure. Since the history of that endeavor is now well known, people should learn not to be hasty or foolish in their comments about this decision he has made.

I do not personally know Charlie (but would like to!), so this opinion is not out of loyalty to friendship. But, it doesn't take a very bright bulb to see the track record he has established with his previous projects. He surely brought a whole new perspective to Hemi racing.

Long before John Force was famous, he said to me that people who consistently build fast cars in Stock or SS could build fast cars in any eliminator and that he hoped to bring the attitudes for detail and for not being satisfied with status quo into professional racing someday. That strategy has definitely been a key component for his success. Charlie executes those qualities and it will be fascinating to see what he does with a program that has languished ever since Glidden (i.e. Ford PS). I personally wish him the best.

Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
 

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. However, respect has to be earned. Do not expect it when you throw negative comments out with no basis other than your ability to point out statistics that you cherry picked off of the net. You also failed to do any research about Charlie W.s background first. Everyone gets it. Steep uphill for even the best in Pro Stock. Anyone that has raced in Performance classes gets that.

Joespanova, have you ANY experience in a true performance class at all? It might help put some credibility behind your statements even if the majority do not agree with them.

Too often, the people that are quick to judge others have zero experience making a lawnmower run right, let alone test their mettle against the many other talented class racers. If you did, you might temper your comments.

As for Mr. Westcott, he is a determined racer. He needs not your approval.

I find it more amusing that I actually agree 100% with Chuck Downing...:).
