Re: Cobra Jet vs Wescott Jr
Well if Charlie goes 8.28!!!! Just saved me a lot of diesel to Indy. I was to leave in the AM but don't have that. I see where two of his customers went 80's today. Can play in that box.

What did he sell them some old 392s from the back room? I've heard rumors that he sprays StarKist oil at 1000'.Maybe that's it.

Re: Cobra Jet vs Wescott Jr
I typed IF he went 28. Maybe the stang did it in T&T. Video shows Hemi over horse.

Re: Cobra Jet vs Wescott Jr
Nice video.So what was Charlie's ET?
BTW on that run I would have beaten the mighty mustang with my gremlin.

Re: Cobra Jet vs Wescott Jr
Maybe I read it wrong, but wasn't it supposed to be a 2 out of 3 race??

Re: Cobra Jet vs Wescott Jr
Seriously I don't think we're going to see the big numbers we've seen in SS/AH the past few years.The participation is way down and I think even the Hemi guys are feeling it in their pocket.
Now the Ford guys are a different story.I think it will take a bit of time to put a dent in the real players pockets. Just an observation from a poor old guy with one of the slowest cars in classracing.

Re: Cobra Jet vs Wescott Jr
It was posted last night on the "Live From the NMCA Milan Cobra Jet Shootout" topic. That pass was a CWjr 8.46 @159½. Tasca's T&T mph was 168+ (gotta love the huffer on the top end)

Re: Cobra Jet vs Wescott Jr
Tascas car broke a pulley or something, so they came and asked me to run Hopkins. They should have that video on sometime also. He went 35 letting out of it, and I went 43.
It was a good test session for me, and a new crowd. Thanks to Jesse Kershaw for inviting us to attend. And the 2 customers that Sledfish is referring to, Henson and Wendell are running engines that are 50 behind the current versions. Maybe you could run with that, hard to say. Chuck has a new one, as does Houser and Baughman. It is pretty obvious to me that the fords are making 1200+ hp. Hopkins has a legal SS car, is about 200+ heavier than me, and a tenth or more quicker. One of those cars can make anyone look like Bob Glidden. cw |

Re: Cobra Jet vs Wescott Jr
This is what it seems like very few realize. Charlie runs the wheels off that thing. He is making good power, but if that was all it was, a dyno sheet would determine the winner.
Not to mention the fact that every race the Wescotts go to, they get double the data. Nice pass under those conditions, Looks like the Wescotts are ready for Indy. Good Luck. I'll still have to root for the underdog and hope for a Perkins/Grumpy/Visner shootout winner though!
