Ricky McConathy aka "slick Rick" digitized a head our former head porter jimmy bell had done before he died and made some improvements on it, we work in partnership, Ricky and I are and have always been good friends, so even though he's not in our shop I still consider it in house since its exclusively our head...

Watch for some qualifying "games". You're gonna have to be able to go rounds to win it. So it would be a huge advantage to not have to "step on" it until the final. Could be Pancake's year.

Well if Rick got his hands on those heads, I'm sure that the final product is amazing. Rick does really good work!

Without a doubt they are truly awesome, I think Ricky is as good or better than any head porter in the country...

[QUOTE=cutta;442887]My apologies, was told of a possible team up situation earlier this year so I naturally assumed two RM engines.

Anyone know if Bucky still has Jason Line Power?[/QUOTE]

Yes. Picking the King Kuda II to win.

Troy Pourciau · 08-29-2014, 08:18 PM

was there a problem with C.W. Sr. car at the start?

Congrats to the Westcotts, on another hard earned win!

I watched the live stream, and was afraid they wouldn't show the final.
It came on after funny car, and also showed the factory stock final, Helms vs Holbrook.

I think you can replay it by getting this link
http://espn.go.com/watchespn/player/...ize/condensed/

Replay can be found about 1 hour and 25 minutes into the show, I just checked.

On the hemi final.... I was sure CW was toast on the starting line.
Wendall's car went into erratic radial tire shake about 330 feet out.
Did that kill the run for him? Was that going on all day?

What a race to run Howes down. There was close parity this year like no year before.

Good job guys
