old vs. new, ya right..........maybe in vehicle (outside) appearance only..................I'd venture a guess that Wescott's got newer stuff in his old tired Hemi than the Mustang's got. My money's on Westcott unless someone "puts" a little something in his back pocket before the show starts.

My first thought exactly on the "Back Pocket" issue since it's a Ford race, but then again I thought, "its Charlie". I don't think he would give up a win for a few $$$. He is a hard competitor.

Bob Pagano · 08-26-2011, 12:18 PM

They had better paid him well to go the race because they are surely going to try and embarrass him.

Spyphish · 08-26-2011, 12:39 PM

Charlie, aim the Gopro out the back window so we can see the Stang'. Go get 'em!!!!

Jim B · 08-26-2011, 01:18 PM

OK I'll be the one to ask. Are the CJ's and Hemi supposed to be in "legal" (or near legal) NHRA SS trim? Since the "rules" for the event specify "running modified NHRA Stock and Super Stock rules" I wonder how "modified" the front runners will be. I guess we'll know the answer pretty soon but what is the Blaine Ramey "exhibition" entry capable of? At any rate you have to give the promoters kudos for the interest this event has generated and to the racers for participating. Can't wait for the video.
