A Ford guy here.

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

Hope they can run good.

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

He ran 6.76 testing at mid Michigan I think he with qualify 14. We'll see tomorrow.

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

good luck charlie from us in michigan need ford back in pro stock i'm not a ford person need more then just bow ties

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

I am certainly no Wescott sycophant, but I am very interested in how he does; he has really taken some flack for his bold (brash) statements, and many in the PS world are hoping he falls on his face....gotta give him points for taking this on and traveling a long distance with many skeptics watching....takes big ones

It looks in tech that he is operating with a small crew as he said he would....I'd like to see a pic of his pit area compared to the 18 wheelers

Years ago in No Problem at kind of the beginning of the Hemi thing, I observed his competitors with t op of the line paint jobs, rigs, chefs.....all the while Wescott's pit looked like Glidden's....like a bomb went off....all work and no play

any body know when 1st qual is?

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

Nobody works harder and uses their head more. He will find a way to be fast. He always does. I wish him good luck.

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

Good Luck Charlie. It would be great to see him and his Dad do well with this project.

2nd session 7.009@198.

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

Wishing Charlie all the luck..P/S desperately needs more diversity. Would love to see some pictures of his "low buck operation"

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

No way he shows up unprepared.
198 mph looks like he clicked it off early.
We'll see what he's got shortly.

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

While Charlie certainly made a lot of brash statements when he ran the Hemi cars, from what I have seen he has been pretty humble about the Pro Stock effort. Maybe I have missed something.

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

I asked Charlie yesterday what he hoped to accomplish during his debut this weekend and typical Charlie he said, "to go out there and not look like an idiot."

He may be a long way from being competitive but he's already got the respect of almost every other Pro Stock team out there because he was determined to do things his way and takes no short cuts.

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

Looks like he will make the show at first race GREAT!

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

We all want Charlie to do good.

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

Yes we do!

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

too bad they got straight on the "bad air day"

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

It's all about what's in the bellhousing! Charlie will make the HP , no problem ! When we use to Test, run IHRA, and then go to an NHRA Natl. event with the Top Fueler, it was amazing how different we had to run the clutch ! Wescott's aren't stupid. They'll figure it out. ... A little history lesson - Think about this - How many Top Fuel Races did Alan and Blane Johnson qualify for the first year they switched from Alky to Nitro ? ....yep ...The rest is history.

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

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

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

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

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

Pro Stock is a bore.

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

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.

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

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.

Dale

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

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

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

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.

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

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.

Dale

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

Stick cars? Kind of...........clutchless Libertys . Those , ain't to hard to drive.

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

get in one that goes 5's or 6's and see how easy it is.

Thanks to those that congratulated me, it was an interesting weekend. Met some cool people, learned ALOT, have some things to fix before Norwalk.
thanks

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

Wishing Charlie all the best

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

CW,
We wish you success, but the current results are too predictable and we hope you can be the difference to make Pro Stock great again.

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

They definately need a hard running Ford out there..........
Best wishes.

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

Wishing all the best to the Wescotts. Their ability and efforts will be successful if anyone can be. Pro stock needs them to be successful!

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

6th pass and he is at 6:77 204+ creeping up on it---WOW wonderful--FED 387

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

Come on Charlie....go get em.. need 2 tenths and 7 MPH. What, 40 HP? You will get it.

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

He made a good clean run last night.

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

After Q4, Charlie is in the show in the #16 spot at 6.818. Marc Hogan and Dave River finished #17 and #18; and, of course, failed to qualify. Congrats again to Charlie!

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

'splain to me why session 2 6.77 don't count, Charlie qualifies with 6.8something
Stupid NHRA, I know the top 12 qualify initially, but they "throw out" early runs?

Re: Charlie Wescott Jr
 

If your not in the Top 12 after the first 2 qualifying sessions, the runs are thrown out. NHRA did this a few years back, to prevent the whole field from being set in the good air during the Friday Night Session.
