Today at The Dutch Classic
 

This will be the understatement of the year - there were some impressive Hemi Challenge runs at Maple Grove today:

Wescott, Jr. 8.38
Wescott, Sr. 8.41
Pancake 8.45
Daniels 8.45
Raines 8.46
Barton 8.48
Hess 8.52

That's OUTRAGEOUS!
If you see any SS AMX's making runs, could you post them? Thanks!

Re: Today at The Dutch Classic
 

I talked to Evan Smith, he went 10.65 in Jr Stock trim (G weight). The only other number I remember was Ficacci (sorry if I butched the last name) who went 9.74 in AA/S. Wow on both!

Re: Today at The Dutch Classic
 

I wonder what the incrementals would be on Wesscott jr. 8.38 ? 660' have to be low 5.30s-mid 5.20s?
That's flying,have they backed it up and went through tech yet?
Is Ficacci going make official quickest stocker pass ,the 9.71 was reported as unofficial in ND? I've rode in Steve's car on ,you tube,9.97 in car,a whole bunch is cool video if you haven't seen it I recommend it.

The best thing with this whole deal is that they have there own class so the index can be adjusted instead of just keep adding weight and drive them out of the class as would be the case if they were stuck in AA with other makes/cars..now they can continue the quest for lower and lower E.T.s ..7.s 10 years from now??

Not without a rule change. At some point the original carbs and 189 cc intake ports will reach their limit.

Re: Today at The Dutch Classic
 

Those are not only great runs the best part is the pack is closing the gap and getting more of a race now....IN AH that is...

Re: Today at The Dutch Classic
 

Thanks Don, nice to meet also.Wescott's incrementals from330'on shows that HP he says he has.Never met the Wesscott's but like seeing Sr.'s stick, shows sticks can be as fast in Hemi's as auto's. I say comment about "Some guy's would be better off to put their stuff up for sale'
Jr. made in Indy N/D interview has been more fuel on the fire of existing rivalies.
How many hours, $$$$'s and brainaches do you think it will take catch up with Wesscott's ?

Well, it looks like others are closer than they have been the rest of the season, so maybe not much longer. They have been dominating the Hemi Shootouts this season.
