Do you ever have something constructive to say ? Charlie Westcott has nothing to prove, maybe you should check your connecting rods !!

just a couple things,
"At Houston this year I talked to one of my sons friends who work for Allen Johnson. When he said they spend 150k plus for valve springs a year" At the price that the springs cost, thats 272 sets, so theres 22 races (I think) so do the math. Most of the time when someone is bragging about how much the spend on something, its because they have nothing else to talk intelligently about. And as Chuck D said, haters gonna hate. My success or failure is not directly related to opinions of people on the internet. That being said, to the people that want me to do well, Thank you, it means alot. For the people that say I cant, Thank you for the motivation |

With one car it will be a challenge for the Westcotts but it's cool to see some Michigan based entries back in Pro Stock. hope they keep the stacker and don't waste money on a 500,000 big rig. I'll be cheering them on. |

Do you really believe that if the most "prominent" engine builders in Pro Stock ever moved over to SS/AH the ladder / elimination results would be the same? |

joespan, Would you consider Jason Line a prominent engine builder?
He has worked all year on a SS/AH combo, and it is not close to Charlie's stuff. Charlie is a brilliant engineer of horsepower and hard work, and I for one wish him much success. J.R. |

Hey, I seem to remember a pretty good Super/Stock racer who made the switch. What was his name.....hmm....let me think??? Oh I remember it was a guy named Glidden. Seems that he did at least qualify once in a while.

The negative faction were very critical of Charlie Wescott when he stepped out of Chevy SS into the Hemi wars. I remember it well. There were some pretty extreme comments made on this site about predicting his failure. Since the history of that endeavor is now well known, people should learn not to be hasty or foolish in their comments about this decision he has made.
I do not personally know Charlie (but would like to!), so this opinion is not out of loyalty to friendship. But, it doesn't take a very bright bulb to see the track record he has established with his previous projects. He surely brought a whole new perspective to Hemi racing. Long before John Force was famous, he said to me that people who consistently build fast cars in Stock or SS could build fast cars in any eliminator and that he hoped to bring the attitudes for detail and for not being satisfied with status quo into professional racing someday. That strategy has definitely been a key component for his success. Charlie executes those qualities and it will be fascinating to see what he does with a program that has languished ever since Glidden (i.e. Ford PS). I personally wish him the best. |

Joespanova, have you ANY experience in a true performance class at all? It might help put some credibility behind your statements even if the majority do not agree with them. Too often, the people that are quick to judge others have zero experience making a lawnmower run right, let alone test their mettle against the many other talented class racers. If you did, you might temper your comments. As for Mr. Westcott, he is a determined racer. He needs not your approval. I find it more amusing that I actually agree 100% with Chuck Downing... ![]()
