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.

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

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

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.

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. |

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
