its easy to step forward when you are at the back of the line.

70's at belle rose... 850 hp

cw

8.60's at Vegas equals around 935-940 hp right????

Good show you guys put on this weekend at vegas. First time I have got to watch a full field of SS/AH cars go at it. Very impressive, especially watching CW go 8.63 at altitude.

Bit of tuning. A little busy to talk. The other car had a loose oil line causing lots of smoke on its first run on Saturday.

Intro of Hemi Shootout drivers.

Silver Bullet (.426 cal)

I've seen a SS/A motor make over 925 on the pump in our little burg. I don't know whose car it was going into, but it was somewhere in the Midwest.

Back home again in Indiana:
What a great weekend in Vegas! Charlie Jr. and Rains final, great way to end a wild weekend of racing......

KUDO'S to the Wescott's..Over and over, they
prove that hard work and determination to win will prove out in the end...........

Also a big thank you to Phil Painter and his entire staff (including the one and only Nitro Joe)............Fantastic Job!!!

Hebert was incrediable....First time out and very immpressive....Most people don't know , but Charlie Jr. took time out to come over and work with Hebert over the weekend, pulling the pan ,....checking the bearings.. and running the valves... kind of showing him the ropes...Again it just proves , that when you buy the best... you get the best....

A big shout out to my buddy Don Bales who by far has the best looking race car I have ever seen........Glad you made the trip and the west coast guys got to see the Silver Bullet....

Mopars at the Strip was a great race this year. I would like to thank Dave and Trish Raybourn for giving me the chance to be a part of it. Good job to Raybourn on his awsome driving this weekend, with out that we would have done no where near as good.
Congrats To the Wescott Team on another very impressive showing, we need our annual whoopin to give us something to shoot for and you did a good job at that!
Thanks to all of the other Hemi teams for showing up, with the economy in the tank it was great to see all of the different teams tow from as far as B.C. to make this race happen.

On a side note, A few of the west Coast Hemi teams and myself had a meeting with the West Coast Hot Rod Association to try and get a small Hemi Shoot out or a Match race going on the west coast. The WCHRA is willing to put up around $2500.00 in payout and with help from the other teams we may have a small venue to run at. When i hear more on this i will keep eveyone posted.

Thanks Jared, we were down to the last minute putting Stephen's car together, and it responded really well.

Congrats to the Westcotts on another commanding performance. The bullet in Hebert's car looks to be a pretty good piece!

I want to publicly thank and congratulate Mr. Hebert for this weekend. He trusted us to build this car, and he did not see it in person until he arrived at our shop Monday evening. We loaded it and brought it to Vegas, and it hadn't moved under it's own power until Charlie took it to the staging lanes for it's first hit. I can personally vouch (although I am biased) that John Holt is the baddest there is. We didn't take the hood off of that blue car all weekend, and it ran up and down like a bracket car.

Thanks to the Painters for a great show, Nitro Joe for all his hard work, the WCH for such great hospitality and all the racers for the great racing.

Congrats to my friend Mr. Pancake, too, on another consistent showing making it to the semis.

I just walked in the door from the MATS.
I must say that the "STRIP" is very nice!!
It was awesome to see so many of the HEMI cars.
Congrats to CW. That new SPYPHISH car is pretty sweet.
I talked to Hebert and his crew for a while, and they seem like great guys.
I am hoping to post some videos of the HEMI shootout soon.
Thanks to everyone who put on the show, it was great!

any pics of herberts car?

moparmax.com had some decent coverage. There are a few pics on there.

When we were at Holts picking up The Hillbilly they were trashing on that car. That is a fine piece and they do a great job at Holts.

Here is a video I took of CW vs Pancake
