Im sorry im just not acqainted with those guys your right they are waaaay out of my league and always a Mike Edwards fan even though he ran GM products but I always liked the fact he was a Ford racer in MP and I like NHRA PS or want to like it I just need some competitive Blue Oval guys in the field and anyways I wish CW the best of luck with his WARHORSE and hopefully he can make us proud!

Those engines don't know what it says on the valve cover. They are just dumb Iron. They all like the same things. If Ford has some equal cylinder heads, they will be just as fast as GM or MOPAR. Wescott has as good a chance as anybody new. Hope he doesn't like things like free time for family, etc. LOL
Mike spent enough renting Tulsa Raceway Park for testing over the years, he should have just bought the place. V. Gains and Greg Stanfield were here testing along with Mike on what seemed like almost a weekly basis. A couple others were there a lot too.
His crew guys were always about burned out by the end of the season. People don't realize how hard those guys work. And the parts and money they go through. Has to be a bunch of masocist. LOL
To people that are really into making NA hp, it's the ultimate. Not everybody cares about nitrous, turbos, or blowers used in the pro mod, top sportsman, etc, wall banging track oilers.

I remember a few years ago reading about Jason Line working from 6am to midnight weeks on end to get them back to the front. These guys are tireless workers. I still remember the interview with Kurt Johnson when he said "I don't get to go jet skiing on the weekend I'm in the dyno room"

"Heads up" guys , ( as in first to the finish ) more than most , are driven by their ego's.
Yeah , its cool that guys like them exist , but at what price? Frankly , I dont see how any of them stay married.
The guys that really have it made are the ones who just drive ( read that Coughlin and so on ) .
Does anyone know what the Wescotts real business is?
Obviously the money came from somewhere..........JC.

Ed is 200% correct ! i really wish CW all the luck in world hope to see him top qualify one day, you never know he may be leasing his engines one day if he can make big steam from them. regards FORD fan.

Your questions seem to imply some sort of jealousy.
Racers stay married because their spouses are as dedicated to the sport as they are and many make it a family affair.

By the way, there are racers that in addition to driving, they also work on the car, not just driving.

As regards to the Wescott family financial affairs, unless they are asking you for money, I believe it is nobody's business.

The Wescott's are hard working and successful racers that have demonstrated many times they can make power and win races.

LOL! Sorry you got your panties all wadded up!

Condescending statements? I do not patronize anyone.

However, when you start talking about "Ego's", marriage issues due to racing and financial stability of racers, you are not only directing this to the Wescott family, but also to the integrity and principles of the Class Racer's community.

We all know and are aware of the time and financial costs of our madness.

Nevertheless, I don't see others asking how did they pay or how could they could afford buying a COPO, CobraJet or DP race car.

Also, when I go to the track, I see lots of racers having lots of fun and race interaction with their wife's, kids and relatives.

In a nutshell, I believe the initial questions were unwarranted.
