Whats the scoop? On another board they say the '64 cars can't run SS/AH.

Does NHRA know whats going on??


Hi Jody, I saw that on marie's, But it was by a no name.So I guess nobody really knows.

THE WARFISH makes the list of top 10 Mopar's of 2005.This months mopar collector's magazine has the top ten mopar of 2005 page 30&31 and Charlie Westcott and the WARFISH made the list at #8. Congrats to Charlie Jr. and Sr.




Being a vet, I try to pay attention to folks that take care of vets. It blew me away when he gave the $10k to the USO.

I showed my wife pictures of Warfish and told her what Charlie did. I also said that I will make sure to spend money with his sponsors. She agreed and said he was a class act. She sees mags laying all around the house with pictures of cool mopars, and of all those cars the Warfish is the one she will always recognize.

I am very happy he made the list. Thanks for remembering our guys in the field Charlie

PLEASE Pray for our brothers and sisters in harms way.

I think they should be allowed to run. They are of the same "spirit" as the '68 cars.(Factory built race cars)

I would like to see a big money, heads-up, non-NHRA race for the SS/AH cars. Like the outlaw 10.5 guys do. Something like $20,000.00 to win. Have NHRA tech with a pro-tree.(no redlights) Have it in the center of the country.(Indy,St.Louis,etc.) Make it an all run field with a qualifying ladder. Qualify on Friday night and two times on Saturday, race on Sunday.

I think you could get 50+ cars to show. I know Vegas and Englishtown sort of do this. They don't draw from the entire country at these races and have small fields. I think if you did this right it would be huge.

What do you guys think???

Class runoffs for Stock and Super Stock have been done on Thursday in the past.
Come to think, is Super Stock running at the Gators this year? The Gators is one of the events that drop one of the Sportsman classes on rotation. This is what NHRA calls their 'enhanced program'.
IIRC, last year was Stock, year before was SG. I'll be dissapointed if it is Super Stocks turn this year with all the new cars coming out.

I count 9 on NHRA.com. They still have them listed as SS/AA!!! There are 10 if you count Dave Thomas' Corvette. I guess they will correct the error later? I included Smyth's SS/A in my count of 9. Wescott lists his 426 as a Jeep!!!

I wonder if the other racers get tired of CW winning, could they protest his engine combo since Jeep never used a 426 Hemi in any of it's vehicles? Or should they make him run GT since he is using an engine from another year and model?

Yes super stock will be at the gators this year. But don't look for a lot of new cars to be at the gators this year, NHRA has this thing called grade points,and most of them don't have the grade points yet to get in,they will have to go to the div meets to get grade points, one point per div meet just another way for NHRA to control who will race at nationals event and another expense for the racers. Most of the guys that will be at the gators have 6 grade points that they earn last year. and NHRA also has only made room for 110 cars total for super stock at the gators and that for all super stock class cars.

Hi Jody, check the web page in about 2 more weeks. I think more will sign up as grade points have diff times you can enter your car grade point 6 first and then 5 and so on until they fill the field of 110 cars total.

Charlie has always listed his as a 426 jeep in all the nationals since he has been running in ss/aa.He also had a bowtie on the roof of his cuda,He did take that off it upset a lot of people. But he won a lot with the bowtie cars and his dad is still driving his super stock which is a gm car,until his cuda is ready.The engine in his cuda is the right engine and he has had to take it apart often for the tech guys at NHRA.That is what so great about charlie engines they are all legal and they go fast.And yes I guess they are tired of him winning, but he is young and one of the hardest workers you will ever meet and most people don't understand his sense of humor like the jeep thing.That is just charlie.

Grade point 4 gets to enter on 02-01-06 and they did QUTOA IS FULL For Super/Stock now. NHRA is going to have to do something so all SS/AH cars can race,since they could almost meet the quota of 110,If all 87 want to race at the same event like Indy.

I hope a collector buys this car, need to keep these cars for the history,No racer will buy because they can built one and make it a top ten car for 250000.that car would cost another 100000+ on top of what they are selling it for to make it a top ten car.
