3- herbert,, i think,, new holt car,, new westcott motor
4- nash has a mpr car and a new, last year, westcott motor
5- some guy from louisana,, having b and b build the car,, guy talked to westcott, though is a few months off from making his decision on motor program

7- gary jacob should be back,, though with economy,, time will tell
8- cambell,, wilkes old car
9- perkins,, i think a jennings car,, depillo power
10- john baughman,,, having his car updated to 7.50 cert and having westcott go though his motor..

a guy came over to me at maple grove and was talking about buying a car,, was interested in my car,, we never talked dollars since i didnt think i was at a place where i could sell it and make out at all,, needed to be faster.. so i think there still guys thinking about entering the class,, even though the economy is down.

You are correct about #3, it's hebert btw 
Should be at Belle Rose
Plus the guy that bought Wilkes' car
Perkins, too.....
The Barton-powered cars all put on a pretty good showing at the Dutch, too, so hopefully the field is tightening up a bit.

Bob Mazzolinis car is for sale. Its a Gary Hansen Chassis, same identical chassis to Defranks car. Very nice piece. He said he would sell it for $150k turn key with the new engine. Bobs Cuda is the Yellow with Blue flames car that is featured in the 2007/2008 Mopar catalog.

Question/comment regarding # 6 & # 10
Barnett...is this the same Barnett team from the 80's that campaigned at least two 70 hemi cudas and one 70 Challenger in SS ??
Baughman, a great guy. My son & I were just talking about him wondering how he's been. His 70 Cuda 440 6 pack Super Stocker was our favorite even over his SS/AA Dart. John did a lot of R & D
that other teams took credit for over the years.
Glad to see he's going after it still!

After Barnett converted the 68 SS/AA Dart to prostock in 1970 I don't think they had another a SS car. They did cars and engines for many teams and at one point had over 30 Hemi cars with Barnett Automotive power. They were in NHRA Prostock a few years then in the 90's tried IHRA PS. The 70 and 71 Cudas you refer to were likely those of Steve Bagwell. The 71 won Indy in 1973. Bagwell cars ran in SS/AA, SS/BA, SS/CA/ SS/DA, SS/EA, SS/KA and B/SM as well as Pro Stock for many years. They actually ran out of the same building.
Hopefully the Barnett SS/AH cars will be out next year. There are actually two cars but only one has been tested so far.

Another old Barnett customer Lloyd Wofford is having B&B build him a 68 Cuda that their websight says should be ready by the Sportsnationals.

Yes, I was part owner in the car and Terry Earwood drove it since my partner and I worked for Buster Couch in Div II and we were not allowed to drive the car. It was all Black and was the Bowers Brothers Plymouth. We sold it to Bagwell when I got drafted in late 72 and Terry and my partner, Alex Bowers, went to work for Bagwell. Alex was the major part of the car and I came on board when Alex needed a little more money to finish the car. A few months later They won Indy. I was working the starting line with Buster and he told me he didn't want to see any hootin and hollerin if Terry won. It was hard to just stand there but I did. The car was original 70 Hemi Convert. One of 14.
Terry Earwood is now a driving instructor for Skip Barber Racing and was at Road Atlanta a while back and joined us at a test session at Atlanta Dragway. Don't think you could have knocked the smile off his face after he made the first pass. Think Warren would like to have Terry drive one of the AH cars when he is available.

I talk to Larry about 4-5weeks ago and I asked what was up with his car for sale and he kind of said he was basically seeing what he could get for it. He did not leed on like he was real serious about selling it. So I done't think it is gone. Jake

Re: 2009 - SS/AH - Super Stock - 12/12/08 06:38 PM
Thanks Stewart, So you actually worked for NHRA at the time? Buster was the Div 2 director? I last saw that car in 78 or 79, wonder what happened to it, you know?

I worked for Buster from 70-75 on the Div II Cert Team and on the starting line at national events. Later in the 80's and 90's I worked some starting line again with him a few times at the Gators and Southerns. Went to the same high school as Busters son, Mike. I was a few years ahead of Mike but thats how I got to know Buster.
There were actually 2 Bagwell Cuda Converts. The first Hemi car that Alex had was the original and then Barnett Racecars built another later in the 70's for Bagwell. The first has been restored but I don't know where it is. The second is owned and raced by Mike Bogina out of Kansas. You can see that car at autoimagery.com by searching Bogina. It held the SS/EA recorda few years back.

Yes I remember those cars. Before that he had a 68 Hemi RoadRunner in B/MP. The Possum Corner Prince from Trickum, GA. When Jim quit racing he really quit. His son, Jimbo, would sneek up to Atlanta Dragway and race in Trophy but always said " Don't tell Dad I was here". Saw Jim and Betty this summer, he was building homes. Don't know how that is going now.
After all his Mopars I think the last car he ran was a ProStock Firebird under the Kinnett Bates and Velde banner.

Re: 2009 - SS/AH - Super Stock - 12/19/08 05:04 PM
Seems like Kinnett was in the finals at Indy with the 68 SS/AA car about 78, I'm a little fuzzy on the details but the one thing I do remember about his 68 car was it was the first Mopar I had ever saw with a 12 bolt Chevy in it. I thought what is this guy thinking, he can't be a Mopar guy.

It didn't always have the 12 bolt,I think it had a Dana originally.He ran the 12 bolt trying to free up some horsepower.

Kurt certainly does quality work and has built a couple other cars for us over the years.

Well, it is really 40.5 years old. When the Holt's complete their task it will be as brand new as possible. Not one square inch untouched. This all came about as a "Briar Rabbit" story as I was bracket racing Jim Pancakes old Death Wish Cuda. After a 157 MPH pass on leaf springs (floater)Jane took the car from me! "If you must do this, I want you to have a new safe car" NO PLEASE, DO NOT THROW ME IN THE BRIAR PATCH. Hence Holt and Westcott have their contracts. Signed "Dumb like a fox"

Are you the same Steve that I gave all the info on Ken Lau's 64 Dodge super stock.Does your grandpa still own the car? Where did you get that picture? It looks like it might be at Milan Dragway and if it is we were there testing something new for Chrysler or breaking in a new John Tedder engine.

I guess that just proves that when you buy an engine from Wescott, that you are getting the best that money can buy... Every customer gets an up to date state of the art Super Stock engine with all the best technology.... How many builders will do that? Charlie has all his customers at the top of their game, but few have ever been able to beat him.....And it is not because he has a better engine....Remember back this past summer when he put Raines motor in his car and tested it on the track to work out some issues?... That is customer service beyond the call of duty, but it is that kind of dedication that shows why Charlie is the man to beat in the Class... He out works everyone.... No one else wants to work that hard it seems to me....

Not only does he have the motor... but he knows exactly whay set up to run on the track based on weather... He has put lots of time into that, and that is just amazing to me. The guy knows what he is doin no doubt

if larry did that,, great,, nice guy,, though i dont think he could run that with his motor he had, i know he was talking about getting a new motor, then some kind of lease program charlie was considering,, but car was for sale so i dont think he would have sprung for a new motor.
if he ran that fast,, he must have fixed his problem,, what ultimately was wrong?

Vegas has yet to post the purse for Hemi Shoot-out, but Nitro Joe, Phil Painter and his staff sure do a bang-up job with the entire week-end with the way they run the show and treat the Super Stock Hemi Shoot-out guys.
I hear that Chrysler is only going to sponsor the shoot-out at Indy... and no other shoot-outs... Not even sure if that is true, and who knows where they (Chrysler) will be come Labor Day week-end?.....
I have been in lenthy conversations with Charlie Blankenship @ CC Events and he will also hold a Hemi-Shoot-out at Norwalk as he has for the past 2 seasons.. He has an interest in hosting the SuperStock /AH/AA guys at all his events if sponsorship can be found to pay a decent purse.
The event dates are as follows:
May 15-17 Columbus Ohio, National Trails
June 19-21 Pittsburgh Raceway Park (Alexadria PA.)
July 18-19 Martin MI. US 131
Sept. 11-13 Norwalk Ohio
A few things to consider: Are any of these dates in conflict with NHRA points events for SS/AA ? and are there any guys here on this post that have any ideas for a sponsorship for such a series.
Any suggestions or ideas are welcomed and you can PM me with info if you want.
We had talked about a gambler type race format with the SS/AA guys paying an entry that went directly to the purse., but have since, reconsidered and felt we need to explore some other options for sponsorship.
I like to think that we could help promote the Class and give it "Headline status" at CC Events, improving upon the fan base and creating more exposure and fan interest.... The real issue comes down to finding the bucks to able and put it on...While I beleive that SS/AA may bring in spectators, it would take time to build a following that would help pay the purse, just the way the economy is right now...I am sure every one has some ideas on this... lets hear them.......

We have been trying to be some sort of sponsor with Charlie for 3 years now. We are currently the title sponsors for several races this year, including Fords at the Summit. It's not cheap, but being the title sponsor is well worth the advertising. We feel we'd like to be some sort of sponsor for the Hemi series, especially large bonus's if the winner is wearing our FireCore50 igntion wires. Our wires are on some of the quickest cars on this and other website forums. The wires have proven themselves time and time again. We'd rather help with the Hemi guys, but also offered to be the Pro Class sponsor. No calls. No biggie, we found other venues, but it would have been nice . We started with Chryslers.

I called and talked to Charlie the other day when he was working on this intake and he took the time to stop and talk to me about my super stock engine ! I know he catches flack on here for telling it like it is, but I've talked to him just a couple times and hes always been super friendly. I have several friends in the SS/AH ranks and I love the competition among them, but I gotta say....I have the UTMOST respect for Charlie and his dad. Charlie and I are about the same age and I wish I knew half of what he knows. Hes a neat guy and a straight shooter and I like that.
Best of luck to everyone in SS/AH this coming year. I hope its another awesome year for everyone.

just keep on talking and you will make my point for me, you are a dreamer, have no clue, and it is proven by the statements you make. Which one of my customers would you say you are faster than?
warford out ran you by 2 tenths at indy open,
rains outran you by 13 at the dutch,
henson went a 48 3 years ago.
comella out ran you by 5 mph.
If you think you are so bad why dont you load up your piece and head to vegas and see how it runs when the air isnt -1000 ft.
or better yet I have rains motor here right now, and I will bet you 100k cash that you arent with in 50 of it on anyones dyno. As I told someone on the phone yesterday, all you do is start trouble with your aimless bs that has no substance to back it up. Like I said keep talking, and you will keep proving me right.

well charlie,, i have learned alot about racing in the last year,,, i know im not where you are,, im just messing with you. when i put the thing back together i hope to be up 30 hp or so,, im just chipping away at it,, youve been doing this for 7 or 8 years ive been doing it for 1..
i didnt see comella run 156 over there at maple grove,, i know rains didnt,, i thought he was 153-154.. i had an issue that i didnt resolve where id hit 151 and driveshaft and engine speed went horizontal on the graph for the last .20 of every run. i think comella was 1 mph faster than me at the 1/8 though,, 3 at the 1/4
id give your customers 50-60 more than me,, not any more than that,,, i should pick up close to that,, i hope,, if not 30 or so
im working on it charlie,, ill get there,, im no dreamer,, thats a joke,, as much as is your signature on here..

Charlie, I really want to but have a ride for the new car to La. and can send the old Death Wish car back to Holt's on return. Plus the rig (tools etc) I share will be at Belle Rose TD class. If Jim Pancake happens to go to Vegas and has room for me, I will go. Need a 270 chunk and I can drive Spyphish from Vegas to La. Ha!
Also, be nice to practice an hour from the house. Stephen
PS If your not watching American Idol tonight, at 8 Central Pinks Allout Texas rerun is on Speed. My little Valiant "Torque Monsta" walks through the field of Chevy's to get in the 2 out of 3 hotlap vs Mustang. Exciting racing. I put my big TD buddy (Mike Kile)in the car to slow it down. He did a good job for never driving the car until that day. Stay warm......

Guys as many of you know (AH Racers) the shootouts for SS/AH's will be few and who knows where as of yet. We do know the one in Vegas is set, the final part is the payout as Phil is working on things (sponsor support) right now.
I will post asap when i find out final figures for payout.
The schedule will be as normal, qualifying on Friday, and eliminations on Saturday. Sportsman ladder and plenty of time between rounds.
As always, I'll be running the deal (plus whole event) and I think its always a great race.
Hope to see everyone in Vegas.

I was wondering;
Did Larry Woo actually sell his car, why and to whom?
Who does the engines for Mark Howes Dart and who painted it?
What is the status of the Buddy Martin / Monte Bailey Barracuda project?
Whatever happen to the "Mystical Cuda"?

larry sold his car to brian hard. he is something big at penske. I talked to brian the other day, he ordered a new bullet from me. Larry is going to race one of those fords I think cause he asked me if I would build him an engine.
armstrong does howes motors, they buy alot of stuff from me, then they machine their own blocks and put them together.
the martin car is still at the chassis shop last I heard.
I was wondering about the mystical cuda the other day.

Re: 2009 - SS/AH - Super Stock - 02/02/09 02:33 AM
They aren't going to real Prison, nonviolent federal crime. I knew a guy that went to Federal Prison for interstate transportation of a stolen vehicle. He got his ground school done for his pilot licence done while he was there and took some computer classes. There were conjugal visits with his wife. Where he was there wasn't even any fences, you sign a contract when you got there stating you would not leave the boundaries of the prison. I know it would be hard to be away from your family but in my opinion the boys in the armed services have it a lot harder than these folks. They will probably have it better than a good portion of the people reading this.

I wish there would be 40 of them there. For me, it's worth the $60 ripoff to get in the gate just to see these cars.
My prediction however.....they'll all be gone by third round. They need to put DRIVERS in those cars. Somebody needs to build and AH ride for Lamb, Fletcher, Langdon, Bertozzi, Biondo, or MEEEEE!!!!!
Posted By: Jared_Jordan
Re: 2009 - SS/AH - Super Stock - 02/03/09 04:04 AM
None of those guys care whether they're "drivers" a la Bertozzi, Biondo, and Fletcher.
Ask them what makes their weekend and the answer is a quicker ET than the other Hemi cars. The HP and TQ those cars have doesn't exactly make them conducive to bracket racing.
And on the driver note, while not everyone is equally skilled, I'd say Jenkins, Teuton, Hess, and Westcott are pretty good!

Re: 2009 - SS/AH - Super Stock - 02/03/09 01:51 PM
I think Houser is a pretty good driver He`s been racing for years and not just Hemi cars, the other two drivers on his team are certainly no slouchs. I agree Rains # 1 with CW power.
Posted By: Jared_Jordan
Re: 2009 - SS/AH - Super Stock - 02/03/09 07:16 PM
My list of "good" drivers wasn't meant to be exhaustive. Those were just the first ones that came to mind. Rick is a great driver as well. I've seen him save that car a couple of times now.
Pancake's not afraid of getting out of shape either. I'll never forget Indy '05 when he raced Charlie in the semis of the Hemi Challenge. That car was all over the track and he managed to get it through to the other end without lifting. Almost beat CW! Though CW had issues that run as well.
A lot of these guys are better drivers than they get credit for. What people forget a lot of the time is that most of the AH cars don't use the transbrake to leave the starting line. That little device makes drivers out of some guys that might not be otherwise.
Just for fun, set the roll-out on your practice trees to .20 and see how easy it is to hit that spot consistently.

I'm doing much better these last few months. The arm is still not as strong as it used to be and my range of motion will never be 100% but at least everything is functional! Thanks for asking.
So far as I know, WCH will be out this year, but I can't tell you exactly when. That's not my decision to make. All I can say is that we've been doing our due diligence in the dyno room these last few months and when the cars hit the track we should be right back in the thick of things.

Re: 2009 - SS/AH - Super Stock - 02/04/09 07:10 PM
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying any of the AH guys are bad drivers. I'm just reflecting on how some of the ex bracket guys who turned pro have dominated their ranks from the driving perspective; ie: Connoly,Couglin, and possibly now Langdon. Nobody has more respect for the AH group than I do but I would enjoy seeing any of them win the eliminator a couple times a year to increase the attention to, and respect for the breed.
When guys like Ronnie Sox were dominating in their Hemi cars I strutted around waving my Drag News just waiting to show off their latest win.
Of course I know their primary goal is to knock each other off and claim the new record but it would be icing on the cake for me to see them in the winner's circle as well.....and not just by beating each other. Trust me, they will all be gone by third round at Pomona.
That's my story...and I'm stuck with it.

Hats off to Phil and Nitro Joe for all their hard work in keeping the Hemi Shoot-Out in Vegas a great tradition....I know that the Wescott's are planning to heading west... Anyone else from the East Coast or Mid-west?... It looks to be a great race with a great pay-out... See you all in Vegas!!!

I did this, the real order was
1) mark v.
2) houser
3) mazz
4) rains
5) dave r
6) faherty
I took each choice that you made and came up with a difference score.
example
if you picked rains for #1 you recieved a score of 3 for that slot. I added all the numbers up and came up with a score
ASA got an 8 spread .19
8 JJ .16
8 chris .26
8 11 sec .32
8 Whomper .17
8 dave watt .20
10 68 fast
10 frito
10 ts
12 lo23
10 ss john
so there were alot of 8's, and the tiebreaker was the spread, so the winner is Jared Jordan.
I am sure people will have other opinions, but I put more thought into this that I really can afford to.
I think it was a fair way to do it

3 hemi ss/ah cars in bradenton for the points race,, lil joe,, tim,, and chuck comella,, lil joe and tim have bracket race motors in,, tim supposedly is having carb problems and i heard that chuck broke it.

NHRA website for Cajun Sports Nationals show Hemi Shootout at 2:00 on Saturday, same day as Vegas race. No sponser that I know of, so appears to be a Class race. The other two Sports Nationals may do the same?

I don't know what's going on in West Virginia. I figured it was about time to get things ready to go racing a while ago and went down to see what needed to be done. There were race cars sitting around with the motors out, torn apart, flat tires and stuff piled on top of them! Bucky and Travis were working on street rods, motorcycle and an old Plymouth. I'm gonna have to light a fire under someones' rear end.

First I've heard of the entry fee/dinner deal. We've not heard from Ogburn since October.
we have been through this,, i wasnt going to pay someone who would insult me, my company,, i said anyone but westcott,, they just didnt list that on the payout sheet.
how about you dude??? whn you had henson call me,, then you did to get you a cyl head after you broke an intake valve at columbus??? you were testing tires for goodyear and needed one head,, 3 days later i had you a head,, you said if i did that youd run my decals,, it didnt matter to me if you did or not,, though you said it, i gave you two sets,, they never ended up on your car,, i didnt really care much about it though.
i had you in my customer gallery on my website,, which i had sold you what??? 15 or so sets of super stock hemi heads? you were a customer.. so you filed papers against me that you were sueing me to remove your picture/association cause i was costing you money for potential sponsors,, what a joke.

Re: stroke - 02/18/09 08:56 PM

grenades? Homebrink, keys, you,
how many times did you break your turds last year. chucks motor broke when it didnt shift, throwing stones at me doesnt hurt my business, just yours. You said you would pay at the dutch, only after I won did you change the story. Like when I won belle rose the first time and barton wouldnt pay me for his non contingent award so I guess you and him are in the same category. Thankfully Jeff Tueton was man enough to make good on it. I Like how you came out of the woodwork to point out how chuck broke his motor at florida, I am sure that you and your lowlife buddies think that is real funny. My problems dont make you any less of a stroke.

Going back to Indy, I have heard of guys running their "bracket" motor. I guess since some have run these in NHRA class runs they are leagal SS hemis and compression ratio is the same. What is the difference in these and an all out class runner? I assume cam size, lighting of parts, crank, rods, pistons is done. What else???

I would say ( and I'm only guessing ) that the " bracket motors " are technology from a few years back and maybe a few parts that have been superceded by newer and better things. Still not bad engines but far from record setting engines, but still legal.

Bucky it's not like racing Barton or the Canadian for a 100th you need 10th's now
bucky needs a tenth,, i need two..... barton guys need a tenth,,, charlies customers need a tenth...
this deal is alot of work,, and these things break if sometimes the smallest things go wrong,, like not shifting,, not enough oil, wrong oil, spin tires.. breaking the trans.. trying to push limits.. etc.
its not a tenth or two tenths,, its 10-20 hundreths,,, there are alot of little things that can or should pick you up that you do on faith that it will and hopefully in the end it all adds up. i have a list so long its crazy of things im doing,, but need to get back to racing to try things out. i made 37 runs on my car last year,, total,, and about 3/4 were screwed up by me cause i was pushing things too hard. we all will get back to work soon,, on the track.
good to see wendell runing back where he was early last year. he spun a bearing at maple grove so didnt run well,,, i was told the weather down in gainsville is like the dutch last year,, around 0 feet.. thomas in ss/aa actually went .02 quicker than the dutch though dont know if he worked on it over winter. hopefully they can get marks car to run the same and have trouble free runs in the comming months and keep moving forward.
lil joe dumped it right past the 1/8th and tim at about 1000ft to try to draw sidney first round,, if joe races sid,, that would be funny as hell..
back to working,,, on my "turd",, and making money..

Re: bucky - 02/21/09 04:16 PM
I see Sid in a GT/CA Dart, What combo is that? A refactored AH car?
that is a 68 or 69 440 with a small holley carb,, i guess they put a holley on some cars with air conditioning.
its actually a 68 cuda that is a stocker,, 9 inch tire,, jeff teutons son joey raced it in top stock for a bit. yes,, jeff has a son named joe,,, there is big joe, lil joe, jt (lil lil joe),, and then joey.. 4 joe teutons in the world..
it doesnt 60ft that well,, they have to leave low to not spin the tires cause the lil tires,, they have a 383 to run it as well, they just swap the heads to the diff shortblock.

The best is Darren Smiths 68, I see there where a few at Pomona. I saw a SS/JA Small block Dart there too you really don`t see many of those.

I was under the impression it was bracket 'mode' not motor. Which is just a tuning changes. Lower rpm chips, different jetting, timing, etc. I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time or last for sure.

The A-120 440s (350 HP) had the 600 Holley carbs, and the A-135 HP 440s had the 750 Carter. The A-120 440s were in C-bodies for the most part in the 1968-70 era.

Not trying to
but i am really curious C.W. what the horsepower spread is on the 5 motors you dyno'd. After 5 in a row, what is the peak H.P difference from 1 though 5 ? no biggie if you dont want to answer.
Posted By: warfish
Re: thanks frito - 03/02/09 12:56 PM
the order
the average on the pull is over a 2300 rpm range
tied for first hebert and my dads, avg difference 1hp
2nd place mine 4 hp behind
3rd place rains 6hp behind
4th woos 50 behind (old motor, old technology)
dads and heberts have some new stuff I made on my mill on them (intakes) and I am debating whether I make any more for rains and me. John left it up to me to do what I want to do, I am still working on mine and if I get ahead a little more with other things, than I may make some more.
I am sure no one believes me since I give my customers 2nd rate stuff (as some would like to think) but thats the real deal.

Great info on the HP numbers Charlie.
If you gave customers 2nd rate stuff, they wouldn't stay your customer very long. Keep up the good work.
I think Vegas will show "the man" goes above and beyond for his customers. He has treated me with respect throughout my stupid questions. (Like when I asked him if the CNC came with instructions? Ha!) Based on the dyno sheet which I will not release, it must have. I asked and he has agreed to make the first half and full passes on the new Spyphish car on test day. IE he has to babysit me and oh by the way get his own car going, help his Dad, Mr. Hard etc etc. Ah the energy of youth!!! It should be fun.

That's going to be a great show.
Where will we find the qualifying and round results posted? Hopefully the track will be better prepared than the last NHRA national event at The Strip.

Re: Mats SS/AH Entries - 03/05/09 02:34 AM
If we end up going and Nitro Joe doesn't beat me to it I'd be happy to post qualifying ET & Speed for those not in attendance.
I doubt very seriously that DRC is going to be there. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks, I didn't mean to intrude. I am a fan of the Tuetons as well as the SS/AH class. Just noticed the entry list. I didn't mean to call you out,

joe sold the machine shop to his uncle jeff. allen no longer works there to my knowledge.
joe has 3 68 hemi cars, white, red, orange. the white car is the "bracket" race car driven by joe, the red car is the class or "shootout" car driven by joe, and the orange car will be driven by tim,,, maybe kevin at shootouts.

After talking to Lil Joe at the CC events Shootout in Norwalk last year, (nicest guy & crew in the world) There was talk that he may run the (4) CC Events this year with the "bracket" car. This was just word I heard from a few in the pits. As you all know, Norwalk is the only "Shootout" of the CC events. The rest of the events are bracket race style that bring out a few legal super cars and some cool bracket cars.

In working with The Blankenship Family, that runs the Chrysler Classic Events Series, we have looked at doing a 4 race Super Stock AH AA legal series if Sponsorship could be found to support such a venture. With the ecomomy in the tank, the interest level in sponsorship support has been minimal.
I am still looking at a few different options, and trying to drum up sponsorship for that to happen. The hope is that we can do something in the future to give this class a great place to race and keep the fan-base as well as the racers happy....The CC Events series is the only ALL-Mopar racing/show series out there and the "bracket" racing is awesome...To able to host the A/A A/H Super Stock Class would be a great addition for the Series....As it stands Norwalk is the only "Hemi Shoot-out " on the CC Events Schedule.....

I did not think that the other 3 events would hold a SS/AH shootout. I just heard rumors of Lil Joe maybe bracket racing all 4 of them.
I know with the economy being crappy, car counts are going to be down. Do you all think if I epoxy some old plug wires to my valve covers Charlie will let me pass as a Hemi Car? Probally going to need all the cars he can get. Just a idea???

The thought was with the Hemi Shoot-out money from Mopar seeming to go away, that the CC Events Shows could be a place for the Super Stock A/A A/H to be a show case event in it's own right... A draw if you will... We also hoped to have a decent purse for each race, but as of right now, the economy has kept the Sponsorship opportunitys down as well.....There are just so many new cars being built and the class is as strong as ever... I think that a Series of Hemi Shoot-outs out side of the NHRA can only help the class.... I also have seen that the rumour is Mopar is back in the game with Sponsorship for Indy and a few other races... I hope that is true and they can support these guys.....

Don, Thanks, you know I'll be around for sure.
The CC deal, i hope it works cause i know for sure there will no more big money NHRA hemi shootouts. Indy might get some $$ but that would be it.
If you guys want, I'll talk to some of you at Vegas and make sure we might have a plan B for indy and do it the old way and have our own money in it for a pay day, and bring in sponsor money on our own without having jump through hoops to say. See some of you in Vegas, and non hemi SS/AH guys but posters on here, stop me and say hi if your out there

Heberts new car worked really well, we didnt test our cars cause I am too cheap to pay 300.00 a car for 5 hrs.

Wow, Jeff Kobylski ran 8.77 at Belle Rose, big step up for him!
Sorry I couldn't post times today. We've had nothing but problems. I have no Internet access at the hotel and am posting with my iPhone. Hopefully tomorrow I can make it to a computer.
Ok... So I lied when I said I didn't have internet access. It turns out that the Luxor likes to hide the Ethernet cable BEHIND the T.V. where you can't see it.
I remembered to bring the qualifying sheet and ladder from the track, but I left it in the car which is now buried somewhere in valet parking so I'll give you what I can off of memory.
1. CW Jr. 8.73 @ 152.47
2. CW Sr. 8.75 @ 154
3. Stephen Hebert 8.76 @ 152
4. John Rains 8.78 @ 150
5. Rick Houser 8.88 @ 145 (broke on this run)
6. Dave Raybourn 8.89 @ 149
7. Jim Pancake - saw him go 8.90 but not sure if that was his best pass
8. Mark Vieira - pretty sure he ran either a .90 or .91
9. Fred Henson 8.93 @ 148
10. Bob Mazzolini 8.97 or 8.98 @ 148
11. Ogburn 9.00 @ 148.28
12. Don Bales 9.03 @ 145
13. Peter Wille 9.03 @ 149
14. Gary Moore 9.31 @ 143
15. Jenkins 12.02 @ 74
I'm not sure if I'm completely accurate with all this as I'm doing it from memory. Specifically I'm not positive I've got the 6-7-9 cars in the right spots.
CW and Co. have been dominate. More of the same in the morning I'm sure. We get one run @ 9 a.m. that won't count for qualifying and then go into eliminations @ 11 a.m. Pacific Time.
Posted By: Jared_Jordan
And the winner is... - 03/22/09 01:19 AM
Charlie Westcott Jr. over John Rains in the Hemi Shootout Final. 8.67 for CW to an 8.76 for Rains. In Rains' defense the car spun the tires about 30 feet out.
Charlie also had low ET for the day at an 8.63 @ almost 154. CW Sr. went an 8.66 @ 156. If your last name wasn't Westcott you went home without an 8.6 timeslip.
Congrats to Charlie and crew.

I can add that after the "parade lap" showing

fuel regulator crack open and spray fuel all
over, lucky it happened before the run and
they pushed the car back to the pits and

I think the real winners were the people that were able to participate in the event. All the fast cars were there, and it shows that all it takes is a little $$$ and some hype and there can be a race that everyone will come to. As I type this we are sitting in a wal-mart parking lot waiting for the tornado force winds to stop. We saw a travel trailer that blew off the hitch of a pickup about 15 mins before we could find somewhere to stop.
Since Ogburn never does the random thoughts anymore, I have a few.
thanks to Phil Painter, Flowmaster, M/T, Jesel, and Nitro Joe for making the race possible. Michael O bought 2 drums of gas for our use, payed our entry fee, and fed us friday night, plus he gave me 1K that I didnt plan on getting from the dutch for low et.
Thanks to Steve H for trusting me with his new car, and to the holts for doing a good job putting it together, he should be a force to be reckoned with.
Me and rains in the final again, seems like we always end up racing before its over, guess that means we always make a few rds.
thanks to my dad for helping me change convertors, and getting the cars turned around. I think people figure out quick that we dont have time to BS on race day, its always a total thrash.
It was nice to see Dave R make a few decent runs, I think he deserves a break, he has had alot of problems over the years, and he ran pretty good on saturday.
Too bad the PA. teams didnt make it out, I heard that they picked up 50 HP over the winter, would have been nice to see how that played out, I have an idea how it would have.
All in all I think 15 cars showing up to an independant race, is an accomplishment, and all went well with the exception of the track op trying to rip everyone off for 300$ to test. Guess I did ok to save my money.
later

Charlie, just got back home myself from the Mopars at the strip. It was one of the best run events that I have attended. Everyone involved with it should be commended on a great show. Nitro Joe, Phil Painter, and the LVMS staff out did themselves. I was impressed with the turn out of the great superstock hemi guys, all very nice people. In these times it was great to see teams from the far reaches of the U.S.A and Canada. My hat is off to you, Charlie Sr, and the rest of the Hemi Militia on another outstanding show.

The Hemi Shootout at Belle Rose was kinda pathetic!! Total of 4 cars, three of which I believe ran Southland colors and the 4th had a big Southland decal on it. Not very impressive times either. Disappointing because I've seen as many as 14 cars at the Cajum Sportsnationals. BTW "Lil" Joe won the shootout.
All in all an impressive show reportedly there were 560 cars in attendance. Top Sportsman is really getting fast!!!

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.

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....

Re: And the winner is... - 03/24/09 07:51 PM
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.

I second that. I had only seen pictures of the "Silver Bullet" prior to this past weekend and let me tell you: pictures don't even begin to do that car justice. Mike Roth really outdid himself. For those of you who never have seen the car, make it a point to drop by Don Bales' pit next time you're at the races and check it out. On top of having (as Ogburn would say...) a "drop dead gorgeous" race car, Don and crew are all great guys to boot.
Also, I have to hand it to John Holt and Co. Stephen Hebert's car worked flawlessly from the first hit. CW made the first pass in the car and I don't think he had to make even the slightest of corrections...the car was on a rail.

Re: And the winner is... - 03/25/09 03:06 AM
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.

Spyphish just home in SW La. via La-Ohio-Vegas-Ohio-La ( I am tired). Everyone very nice to me as the NEW rookie. Took Bales place, Ha!. As for the Holts, Geico lizard could have put that car down the track. I tried to do a burnout in neutral, killed the motor next. BOOM-SHAKA-LAKA number 2 Q on cold tires. Later a 71 with idle start, 1.25 60'. Pancake called it Bad [Edited by Moparts - Keep it clean]!
As for CWJ, babysat me all weekend, shook it down, checked bearings, valves twice. I think I will keep him. A pro!
Thank you again Mr. Pancake as he hauled us out, used his tools and food etc. All clean fun. And of course Painter/Nitro. Goodnight!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice article, and the Southland guys are here. Very helpful to me.
Ben, still doing baby leaves and shifts but tell John I have mastered park!! Ha. Story there. Also my name showed up back home (Lake Charles) where a 57 year old Stephen Hebert is in the pending (details to follow)obituaries???????????? I will be 57 in May. Wife called to ask about life insurance....No clue on that but I did think about that as I let go of the button.
I also just learned of the 7/4 plug swap as I ran my 1st valves without Master Westcott. I did have to call him, but Hey! I have a grade point.
Just got a call from Bales at Gateway with the Bullet, went a 8.730 out of the box with a 1.153 60 and 5.48 1/8th with his number two engine. Pretty good for an engine built in 04 I think. I guess the altitude factoring system for vegas was pretty close, a 99 out there equaled a 77 out here. That means CW would go 40's

Division 4 Race - 04/05/09 05:37 PM
I got a chance to take a look at the Spyfish car. Beautiful car and ran an 8.65 on Saturday. The announcer said it had "Walcott power". Hats off to Mr. Walcott!
Thanks to the crew member who gave me a guided tour of a top tier SS/AH car.
I also got a chance to talk to Gary Moore who had a very nice SS/AH car and he's running a stick. Gary was very nice and spent about 20 minutes talking about the old days of beating Sox in 1974 and some of the "old guard" days.
The announcer was telling a tale of Jim Hale's car being there in 1986 then noticed that the car was his Stocker with the 383, not the old Banning & Slaughter Cuda. Hale was running the B&S car with a 383 with a single 4bbl tunnel ram. Not a bad deal to run an older car in GT.
The Teutons had two of their cars there, but appeared to have old "bracket" engines in them with old style crossrams.

Re: Division 4 Race - 04/06/09 02:38 AM
Spyphish: I wasn't so much a mapping guy like you. I did flight charts and scored bomb runs for the B-52 crews when I was at Carswell AFB, then looked at China and counted MiGs, Soviet subs, etc. in the various military installations like Zwang Chang Zhu (probably forgot the spelling). I had the photometrics training that you probably used in mapping, but never used that stuff.
I should have stopped back by after the first round to say "Hey!". I wondered all over the pits looking for friends and talking to some Mopar racers. After being in the sun all day I was ready to head home. Maybe I'll catch you at another race (Houston divisional or the Dallas National event?).

Effeciency from what I see. Once you have the program dialed in. Put a chunk of alum. in the machine and you can pretty much walk away and work on something else. yeah the chunk may cost 1000 bucks but you make that back in effeciency of machining versus making runners and the other pieces and having to weld it all together. Then after welding it together you need to machine the piece again for surface flatness.
Posted By: warfish
Re: anyone home? - 04/12/09 07:45 PM
The main advantages are this, you can shape things inside the plenum where everything usually welds together. There is no better way than to call out the radius you want, and machine it. I cant believe these days that anyone would try to hand shape a radius on a runner. The other advantage as opposed to the normal billet bank intakes I make, where there are 2 billet halves, with a plenum welded around them, is I can ship this thing to the customer, and never have to fit it to the block.
It has been interesting. I have 6 normal hemi intakes to make next, I will be making them the normal way. I may try the one piece deal on a hemi next.

Re: anyone home? - 04/13/09 05:42 AM
Makes sense to me. Thanks for the info, I appreciate that. I have not seen many complete CNC intakes, I have seen the CNC'ed runners but not a one piece intake before.

How much time/effort do you think you've got invested in designing the manifold on the CAD programs? Always wondered how laborious that would be.
From the perspective of the uninformed it seems like it could be either real easy or real difficult.

There are a number of variable involved in how
much $$ Charlie might get back for his aluminum
chips. Yes he laid out $1000 for the block of
aluminum, but depending on the quality of the
aluminum he wants to use depends on if he needs
certs for the material or not. With out the metal
is cheaper to buy.
The scrap dealer pays by the pound and by the
qality of the chips, how clean vs oily.
Also pricing is based on how much weight of chips,
less than 100 lbs price is lower and so on.

<We have called more than once, and they only want to pay me .10 a pound.

Charlie,
You are selling your scrap at the bottom low
of the market right now.
I assume you have a scrap dealer who either
provides empty drums or a 4x4 or 4x6 bins for
you to accumulate the aluminum turnings.
The buying of scrap turnings is sort of a
pecking order, the street vender buys from
you for $0.10 lb for your 500-1000 lbs, then
sells it to the next guy up the chain for
an additional few pennies a lb along with tngs
from his other customers for that day or week,
then it goes on to another guy for another few
pennies more until it ends up with the company
who collects enough to make bails out of and
then it is sold to the final guy who melts it
all down and makes another inget or block of
aluminum that you then pay $1000 for so you can
make a new intake manifold out of it and start
the process all over again.
It's a big circle, but places like Boing are
NOT building many planes so the companies that
build parts for the planes are not buying metal
for manufacturing and so forth down the line.
Just my take on it.
Former scrap metal buyer.

like I said, you have trouble with the small things. Pie man is a friend of wendells, he wasnt crying about anything, he was kidding with bucky, who is a friend of his. So you obviously dont know what you are talking about, and needed to read your name (if you can read it) so you tried to get something started.
Why is it whenever someone in detroit gets wound up, their spelling skills revert to 1st grade?

Pieman, the Belvedere looks good, looking forward to seeing it again, I haven't saw it in about 30 years. LOOKS good, Hay!

I asked knoblock if he wanted to borrow some tape, he said he was fine.
I spun on my last 2 runs, hope for a good run tomorrow. Dads car made a couple pretty good runs.
We have a piece of pink duct tape on the quarter glass holding the window from blowing out, I may put a piece on mine tomorrow and go for the pole!

Posted By: warfish
Re: indy points race - 04/25/09 03:07 AM
its not the speed, its the abilities. I am a racer, not a body man. the windows dont fit that good, I dont spend 6 months putting a car together. If tape will get me to the track, so be it. The non runners that are always looking for the latest excuse that we are doing something wrong, think we are taping our cars up for speed. I think someone with that theory is mentally challenged.
I think it is amusing.

my new car is almost done, I should have it out this summer. It takes about 6 weeks to finish one after gary is done with it. I still have an auto right now. My new car will be manual. We knew my dad had knoblok first rd after we were 30 miles away, we had no intentions on running the bracket race. I have 4 new motors to do, among other things. That race wouldnt have been worth another run on the tires.

That sounds like a good idea, but how about just covering the whole car with various colors of DUCK tape, especially that PINK tape CW has.

new parts - 04/30/09 09:16 PM
These are some new wheels that I just got for the new car. They are made by Tim Gibson, he previously worked for John Force as an aero designer, and he works with BME om their blower design. They are made from 6061 billet plate, and are a couple lbs lighter than the welds that I have now. You can buy them from him direct, or from me. They cost a little more, but what doesnt.

Took off to New Orleans for Jazz Fest and missed my turn. Ended up in Parma, Mi. for a tour of Jackson Engine Tech. It is by the town of Jackson, I get it! Very impressive operation CWJ and father have and having the 1st engine made with his CNC is cool. Could be a rare Barrett Jackson item one day. CNC was cutting on a block of aluminum as we toured the "shops". Will have the Phish car at Houston sneaking in a grade point this weekend. Stop by!

How did you guys get into the 30's? It seems when you miss it the MPH goes down a ton. Are the cars spinning that hard in high gear? Or are they out of a very narrow torque band?
Rick.

Re: 2009 - SS/AH - Super Stock - 05/13/09 11:04 AM
MPH is always low for these cars. not sure if air drag plays effect at the top end. but then again, alot of other musclecars that run similar ET's with larger n/a motors have higher speed.

"guys"
did someone else do it?
I havent seen the mph go down a ton on a bad run, usually the et will lose a tenth or more (with an auto) if you spin. If the mph is down a ton, that is probably HP related.

Re: 2009 - SS/AH - Super Stock - 05/17/09 07:24 PM
i tried a different hone procedure and the rings didnt seal up... i have a business to run and have employees to keep a flow of work going through my shop,, so i didnt get it done,, i may try to goto maple grove next weekend...
not every guy that posts something on here is one of my "crew",,, but seems that everyone that posts something negative about you on here has something to do with me.... not the case
i seen and told a few people that i thought heberts motor was going away after his first points race cause he ran a 55, 61, 63, then 65 without the air getting much worse,, i thought when he posted that he went up to see you that he took it back to have you fix something,, i was afraid to say anything to you or him due to the potential for more bashing on me,, but maybe i should have and just bit the bullet,, then he wouldnt have blown it up. i seen comella slowing down at maple grove last year for no reason,, told him its going away and to pull the pan,, he then blew it up his first run of the year this year so i figured you wouldnt listen to me anyways..
when i called you a week ago or so to talk about this 3rd grade attitude with u making fun of my last name i was going to plead for a truce,, but i realize that can never come to be since im your whipping post whenever you have a bad day or things dont go your way,, somehow,, someway you find a way to take it out by insulting me and my business,,, like always.
i wrote too much and i know there is no reasoning with you,, i think you learn that in grade 6,, but o'well...
on a positive subject,,, bucky won best engineered at bristol this weekend,, congrats..

Thanks for your inquiry. That was two expensive grade points. Flat tire at 152 mph in S/G Death Wish(don't you love that name) and broke some lower engine parts on the blue car. Probably me hurting it as a rookie. No problem, now I have some spare parts. Will be back as soon as I can.
Probably not BG shootout.

Re: 2009 - SS/AH - Super Stock - 05/18/09 01:09 AM
the fact that hebert was going 124 @ the 1/8th (which is about what you go in the 1/4) would tell me that it wasnt hurt too bad on that run, but you always know more than I do about my customers business. Chuck had the pan off of his motor this winter, and everything was perfect. When he sent it back, I found that the front carb linkage was loose, and the carb wasnt open all the way which would explain why he slowed down a couple at the dutch. I am not having a bad day, I went to the race, made 3 good runs with both cars, helped chuck run the sanford and son motor with 4 sleeves, a crank thats welded on 2 journals, smoking like a freighttrain, and 2 patches in the block run within .01 of the closest competitor (daniels) we have. I am a long way from blowing a gasket as described by one of your genius crewmembers, I can get my work done, and still make it to any race I want to, cause I am not chasing my tail daily. we got home yesterday, pulled chucks motor, fixed the oil leak, and put it back on the dyno. we will be installing it shortly so he can fly back to fla. tomorrow.

Just show up with your camara, buy ticket at gate and ROCK. Thursday is a great day, not very many people, you can get close to the cars, sit where you want and watch wheels up action.

you still have to take the covers off. I have oring seals inside the plastic for the tubes, and it gives more clearance for the rockers.

Charlie with the plexiglass opening on the valve covers is that to see what the rockers, valve springs are doing or to see oiling. I have thought of doing that on my motors just to see the roller rockers.

Ray Barton has confirmed that YES MOPAR IS STILL PLANNING TO SPONSOR BOTH THE HEMI Challenge events at the 2009 U.S. Nationals at INDY as well as the SportsNationals at Columbus.
P.S. Can I please ask any/all SS/AH racers/owners to e-mail me

Re: 2009 - SS/AH - Super Stock - 05/27/09 02:05 AM
they said they were going to sponsor the bg race also, I would believe nothing that came from their mouths. If this this is to survive, we will do it on our own, as the racers. If indy and columbus pay, than that is a bonus. I am not counting on it at this time. I talked to Bales this afternoon, and feel that this should be an easy deal to replace the BG race. I am thinking about the CC event at 131 dragway in july. I am willing to put up 1000.00 cash, non contingent, to go into the pot. Not because I plan to win, but because I think they are good events, Charlie B. Is a good guy, and I know he would love to have us there. We wont be filler material at his events. Lets see some of the other people that benefit from these cars put up a little $$$, and have our own race.

Moprod's post says it all. This is the best class for competition and for fan viewing and I agree with CWJ. The racers will have to carry the load while Mopar fries it's bigger fish to survive. I understand business first. Thanks to Don for creating an A car DBS and I will do what I can to help. July CC race works for me and I can probably find a few grand from some vendors.

Michigan HEMI CHALLENGE - 05/27/09 05:12 PM
I talked to Charlie B this morning, he is up for whatever we want to do. What we talked about was this. An event at the july Martin Mi. event, sponsors lined up by whoever can get them. The sponsors will be included in event promotions. To do this we need to finalize the sponsors in the next 2 weeks. Money that will be sponsored needs to be payed in advance to get you on the event promotions. This keeps people from saying " I will pay the winner 500.00, but if racer X wins I wont pay" which has happened in the past. If you get in after the 2 week deadline, than you are still welcome, you just wont be able to be placed in the printed matter relating to the race.
I have pledged $1000.00, I have a verbal from a couple others.
The big announcement is that JESEL valvetrain, will post $5000.00!!!
This will come partly in contingencies, and the rest will go in the pot.
Anyone interested in helping the cause, Email me your info, and I will get back with you. You can also contact Don Bales if you choose, since some people choose not to converse with me, and I dont want egos, or personal issues to interfere with the quality of the race.

Don Bales has been working hard to unite everyone and CW has came through in a big way as well with Jesel........Anyone else want to help make this happen? You can get with CW or Bales ........

Baughman auto is in for $500.00
I think this deal shows how strong this group of racers is, MP has no idea. If we had events like this, we wouldnt even need to go get 5 grade points to go to indy (which end up costing 10K by the time you figure it out). These smaller events are a blast, and the people are there to watch mopars, not top fuel. It is a captive audience, you can sell T-shirts, etc without thinking that NHRA is going to put you in jail.
We have plenty enough money now so we can get a good tech official for fuel check, and teardown. I will check into that. (yes I will pay them off so I can cheat)

Re: 2009 - SS/AH - Super Stock - 05/28/09 05:45 PM
I think the Hemi Shootouts are popular enough to run a small circuit. The closest race to Texas was Bellrose, which was 500 miles from Dallas. It looks like most of the guys are in the north or Cow-Lee-Forn-Ya. If were to take off, their might be two or three circuits to cover the country. I'd like to see a SS/BA class added for the side show, or B down to E for the other Hemi classes. That would add car count, especially down here. The Teutons and Spyfish could be half the field in the Chitlin circuit in the south.

Re: Michigan HEMI CHALLENGE - 05/29/09 02:57 PM
I got a call from Randy Warford this morning, Mel is recovering at home from what was thought to be simple hernia surgery. 2 hrs turned into 10 day in the hospital, and 2 months at home. Keep them in your thoughts.
Randy volenteered $500.00 to the pot, and said they will not be there for the obvious reasons.
I have talked with all the big sponsors of this event, with Charlie B. and Don bales. We decide that the checks will go to me. I plan to open a seperate acct. and when the race happens we will have a balance, divide it up at the conclusion of the event, and leave the event with a zero balance. We will pay Travis out of this acct. I will pay any fees related to the acct, and I am also going to take care of the design of the flyer, and the printing. I dont feel that this should come out of the acct. because I dont think you should pay to sponsor the event, and pay to advertise it. It should be minimal, and I have a few connections in that area to disperse them in parts stores, etc.
If you want to get on the flyer, we will have a cut off date, proably in a couple weeks, for the funds to be in the acct. If you dont want to send me the money, than you wont be on the flyers. This is going to be a very simple deal. The money will total X, we will pay everyone at the track, and we will go home. No waiting for 50 checks in the mail. If you want to have a contingency award, thats great. What I am handling is the purse that will be payed at the event, the real money.
I expect to have around 13K, maybe more based on participation of additional sponsors, and entry fees. I feel that 150.00 entry is fair, if people want to make it more, and make the purse bigger, I am fine with that. My payout model is based on 16 cars at 150.00
JET $1000.00
JESEL 5000.00
HOLT 2500.00 (THEY THINK THEY WANT TO SPLIT THEIRS BETWEEN THE 2 RACES)
BAUGHMAN AUTO 500.00
WARFORD 500.00
BUCKY 500.00
MR2 300.00
ENTRYS 2400.00
TOTAL 12700.00 AT THIS TIME
WINNER 55% 6985.00
R/U 25% 3175.00
SEMI 20% 762.00 EA.
1/4'S 8% 254.00 EA.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET SOME MORE, JESEL MAY ALTER THEIRS SLIGHTLY BECAUSE THEY SAID IT WILL BE PARTLY CONTINGENT. THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN. NOWHERE IS THERE A LINE WHEN CW IS GOING TO KEEP ANY OF IT, I FEEL THAT LIKE ME OR NOT, I HAVE A GOOD REPUTATION WITH PEOPLES MONEY, AND TO TURN IT OVER TO AN ACCT. ETC IS JUST ANOTHER PERSON IN THE FOOD CHAIN TO COMPLICATE IT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO IS COMING SO WE CAN PUT YOUR NAMES ON THE FLYER, YOU CAN ANNOUNCE IT ON HERE, OR EMAIL ME. I WILL POST THE FLYER BEFORE WE PRINT IT. ANY QUESTIONS CALL ME.
517 531 3430
I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED SOME PRINT MEDIA GUYS FROM THE MAINSTREAM WORLD, AND WILL TRY TO GET SOME ADDITIONAL COVERAGE OTHER THAN MOPAR COLLECTORS GUIDE THAT NEGLECTED TO EVEN PUT A PICTURE IN FROM THE 08 NORWALK EVENT. I AM SURE PAUL WILSON WILL DO A FINE JOB THIS YEAR WITH THE EVENT.
TO SAY ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A 100% PAYBACK EVENT, WITH NO ADMIN. FEES, NO BS, JUST $$$$ TO THE RACERS. I AM TRYING TO KEEP IT SIMPLE, AND IF SOMEONE ELSE WANTS TO HANDLE IT FOR NORWALK, THATS FINE. I WILL BE GLAD TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH CHARLIE B. AND CC EVENTS FROM NOW ON THOUGH.

Jesel Belt Drive - 05/30/09 04:53 AM
Gary Moore broke his Jesel Timing cover on his SS/AH car at the IHRA event here in Dallas today. It looks like the plate was machined or designed to be too thin in the area where it broke out at the cam. Attached is a picture of the cover on the engine.
Posted By: mr_340
Re: Jesel Belt Drive - 05/30/09 04:56 AM
Here is a picture of the part that broke out. The material appears to be maybe .010-.020" thick where it broke out. Anyone else have this problem? I was thinking of getting one for the new World block, but I may wait and use the old gear drive until they fix this.
Posted By: warfish
Re: Jesel Belt Drive - 05/30/09 11:39 AM
I would be curious why they are breaking. There is no load on that part. If there is than your cam is going downhill in the block. I wouldnt say there is a problem until it happens to someone else. I am trying to figure out from that picture what kind of block that is, we have to machine the iron boss around the cam to clear the cover, even on the older blocks. That one has no boss. Its irrelevant, I am just looking for clues. I would say that Gary seems to have a run of bad luck, he handed me a coffe can full of broken valvetrain parts at vegas, and said the valve was bad. I looked at it, the spring was broke, and by the looks of the stem it had been broken for a while. No valve will live under those conditions. These cars are not wind up toys, you have to A)look at everything, and B) know what you are looking for, which most dont.

Posted By: SSDAcuda
Re: Jesel Belt Drive - 05/31/09 01:51 PM
I saw one that broke same way. After checking I found the cam gear drive, was bent. took it to Jesel and they confirmed.
I didn't put it together or run it only saw the parts after.
If cam thrust was right, there shouldn't be THAT much pressure there.
Posted By: mr_340
Re: Jesel Belt Drive - 06/01/09 10:52 PM
How much thrust does the oil pump drive put on the cam? Being mostly a small block guy, does it drive the cam forward or toward the back of the block? It still looked like the material was thinner than I would want. I can't say anything about Gary's engine, but he was racing Hemi's back in the early 1970s, so I would expect he would know his way around them.
Posted By: warfish
Re: Jesel Belt Drive - 06/01/09 11:31 PM
the cam thrust pushes backwards. That cover could probably stand to be thicker, but I am just saying that if it has happened twice, and it has never happened to anyone I know, and I am on SN 019 for SS/AH motors right now, and have had a belt on every one, that it is probably not an issue.

Having been in the Pinks Allout final with a cheapo' bracket car and losing in the hot lap best of 3 final due to a small radiator (Houston 2 years ago), these A cars would probably not make it. Would be something, both cars blow up in the final.

Nice article on Stephen Hebert in Mopar Collectors Guide today. Way to go 'Spyfish".
We built a stocker IHRA Crate motor car in 17 days. That included, whole new front end, powder coat everything, 2x3 frame rails in floor, dana, cal tracks, fuel system, full moly cage, and was back on track. The car was 1/2 ass done when we got it but its all been replaced. It was already painted luckily.

Spyphish schedule was always March 09 and it took the entire 15 months. I am sure if it was the only car is Holt's shop it would have been much quicker to build. It was worth the wait, very safe, well thought out and pretty fast. No regrets.

It was just a suggestion, they race for money and seems like drag racing started out with a flag drop! Drama is what you make out of it. There is way more drama on this one thread than at a Pinks All Out race

this is what people are talking about Charlie. DusterBuster criticized you, not Jeff, and you still immediately throw him in there and criticize him. Whenever you are having problems, Jeff never throws it in your face, others may. [removed]

who do you think DB is? Why is it that I am the only one that is critisized? When ever one of my guys has a problem, its front page news. I got an email from one of the fruits friends 2 years ago, that told me who DB was. What they need to realize is that my problems dont make them any faster, and when you cant even make it to the track cause your stuff is so weak, you dont have much room to talk. Pancake blew a rod at maple grove, no one mentioned that 5 mins after the run. And If you want to compare me to president Bush, I take that as a compliment. You are more like the current leader, reading off a telepromter cause you know nothing, just repeating what you were told by someone else that knows less.

I can remember when the Hemi SS guys were the gentleman racers. Charlie, if you wouldn't bash other guys maybe they would cut you some slack? You are the top dog. I wouldn't think you would have to put down other people when you are on top of the pile. Win graciously, please.
When I was talking to Gary Moore at the IHRA race in Dallas recently, Gary thought you and Jeff were just razzing each other like good buddies do. I hope that's the case, but it doesn't show up here like that if that is really the case.

Who started the bash? Where do you think that originates? I have enough guts to use my real name when I have something to say, If I had time to make fake names to bash people would that be better? I am not going to sit here and let fake name losers, that are really real life cowards, bash my customers, or me for that matter. I would like an example of when I started any of this. I came home last night because I have 3 motors I need to get done before martin. I really dont have time for this. I am getting ready to do some blocks on my mill. Last week I did 6 manifolds, 40 pistons, now I will do 4 blocks. Thats a week in my life. What have all the people that are so involved in trying to knock me down doing?
later, I have $$$$$$$$ to make

I have Jeff's heads and Intake, they seem to work fine . I'm short on Buck's, other wise I'd maybe try Charlies upper package! Jeff's been great to me. as in lots of Help, and Charlies always been friendly at the track! Good Luck to all..........John Lang

If there was some mix up or he didn't get the check, please count us in at SMRE Performance for the $1,000. We'll get it to wherever you and Don want us to send it ASAP.
See ya in Michigan.

Don't tell CW, but I don't think the 1969 grill, header panel and hood would be legal on a SS/AH car. It still has the 1968 side marker lights though. I guess the duct tape in lieu of paint didn't make the cut.

Mopar HEMI Challenge Race Series Approved - 07/01/09 03:40 PM
I received the below e-mail today.

E-mail:
rmeiners@jrthompson.comMopar® HEMI® Challenge Race Series Approved
To: All HEMI® Challenge Participants
Subject: Mopar® HEMI Challenge for 2009
The 2009 NHRA Mopar Hemi Challenge is now scheduled. We will distribute an official press release very soon, but we are letting you know now, so you can save the dates.
There will be three events this year.
1. The Mac Tools U.S. Nationals on Labor Day weekend, Sept. 2–7. The schedule will be as usual, with the final on Friday evening at the beginning of pro qualifying.
2. The HEMI Challenge series will then head to the JEGS Northern SPORTSnationals in Columbus, Ohio, on Sept. 25–27.
3. The third and final 2009 Challenge event will be on October 22–25 at the Maple Grove Raceway Dutch Classic in Reading, Pa.
The U.S. Nationals victor will take home a $10,000 winner’s purse. The winners of the other two events will each receive $5,000. Each HEMI Challenge race is a stand-alone event.
Thank you for your patience. We hope to see you all at the races.

My dad went out to get us some new tires today, and Tom Bachman of comp. tire west gave him 2 free tire certs for our race, for a radial I think thats around 350.00 ea. I think the best thing to do is give one each to the finalists, instead of both to the winner. He said it was up to me, so thats what we will do.
looks like it should be a good event.

I have had some of Jeffs stuff in the past, I am not trashing him by any means. I knew CW would make a remark and I was just commenting on his work into this.

Tentative Martin SS/AH HEMI Schedule - 07/10/09 08:55 PM
Hello All...
I just talked to Chris Blankenship from Chrysler Classic Events; she said that if the SS/AH guys are on the grounds Friday evening that the SS/AH guys can get a time run(s) during US131 Test and Tune.
Saturday's schedule: SS/AH Qualifying runs at 11.00 AM and 1:00 PM with elimination beginning later Saturday evening.
See you all next week

Re: more martin sponsors - 07/10/09 09:35 PM
go for it jeff, I think that we have a pretty good turnout for this event. Why dont we poll the racers at the event on how they think things went, and see who they want to run the next one. The purse is split up back to 8 cars, is that not good enough? would you like to get payed for losing in the first rd? The events we usually attend are winner take all, except the dutch and vegas, so I tried to split it up as much as possible without ending up with no money. I think the sponsors got more exposure at this event than any one I have ever been to. when I won the dutch (that you never payed me for) I didnt know who was paying till the final. We printed 500 flyers here, distributed them at auto value stores in the grand rapids area, engine pro put them in every box they sent out (they printed their own) and I sent 100 to 131 dragway. As usual you know how to do everything better, but the same applies to this race as does racing in general, talk is cheap, results speak volumes.
we are leaving now for stanton with hebert, see you there.

just finished putting bias tires on the car,,, see you in the lanes...

CWs right. A lot of the racers are "puttin up"! The ones I know of are Bucky, Baughman, Warford, Turk, Holt, MR2. CW has also brought Jessel, some oil, gaskets, bearings and and now the tires. Jeff, maybe just a certificate for some work?
I would rather have him put up a bag of Doritos (no offense Frito) than a certificate for work.
your a real piece of work who are you to turn down some that could be offerd? and your still cryin about your $$ from the dutch tell ya what big boy ill give you something c ya at martin chump

Re: more martin sponsors - 07/11/09 02:15 AM
if you go back to like page 16 charlie posted this breakdown
WINNER 55%
R/U 25%
SEMI 20%
1/4'S 8%
Posted By: warfish
Re: more martin sponsors - 07/11/09 02:45 AM
something simillar to this, depending on the total with the 150.00 entry fee
WINNER 55% 6985.00
R/U 25% 3175.00
SEMI 20% 762.00 EA.
1/4'S 8% 254.00 EA.
as far as the email MCH sent me, I read it. I felt like I was doing a pretty good job gettting the sponsors names out there. More targeted at the spectator, parts buyer in that area. Jeff mentioned that he didnt know who engine pro is, so I should change my marketing aproach. He also in the above post said he would "give the sponsors the recognition they deserved" or something like that. I say go for it. Take the norwalk race and run with it. I dont need to do this. I make my money building engines, not winning a 7K purse. I didnt do this deal because I plan to win it. I go to every race with intentions on winning, if you dont, than you dont need to be there. I worked at getting this deal together so my customers, current, and future, can have a good race to go to. Like I said I nominate MCH to take over the norwalk race. And RO23, your comments dont deserve response, nothing constructive comes from your fingers, so I am done reading your BS.

Martin Hemi shootout - 07/13/09 01:51 PM
We have decided to have free entry for the HEMI SHOOTOUT!
Maybe this will get a few of the fence sitters to come. I will be doing a track rental on friday, so anyone who wants to get in on that can contact me. It will probably be less than 200 ea depending on who shows up. I think its 1500.00 split up evenly.

Re: Martin Hemi shootout - 07/13/09 04:52 PM
good to hear bucky, we apreciate it. Charlie B told me this morning that it was ok for us to do car and driver free entry, but the crew needs a ticket, so keep that in mind. We will have a bag full of stickers and info at the gate for the hemi racers, It tells who is paying, and what you need to have. They want their stickers on the cars, I cant argue with that. I felt like they would get enough exposure without that, but for now we will deal with this.

Re: more martin sponsors - 07/15/09 02:46 PM
I just got off the phone with my good buddy David Hakim. He is now employed at Mancini Racing as marketing diresctor. Mancini Racing will post 500.00 to win, 250.00 runner up. They want their stickers on the car, and to be able to use the winners picture on their website. I told him that was no problem.
I also am purchasing a "trophy" from a local artist. It is a small statue, he is called "the sorrowful monk" I thought it would be an interesting, unique prize that you will always remember. He said that he makes trophys, and maybe next time (norwalk) we can get something less spur of the moment.
and I think that we will all be parked in the same general area at the race.

Something you might think about that you could get rather inexpensive to give to your sponsors are certificates of appreciation.I'm sure you would find out when you go back next year to ask again, you may find how much they appreciate them.You don't even have to frame them .just a thought

Just got a call from Bill Kraft. He has a new car that FJ built. I sold him some stuff earlier this year. Anyways, Kraftwerks will sponsor the last qualifier on the sheet with a $100.00. He doesnt think he will be able to attend, although he will try. He wanted to do something to support our race. Its not a huge amount, but it is apreciated, and will be a bonus for whomever gets it.

Baughman 500
Warford 500
Visner 500
JET (me) 1000
- trophy 75.00
that was all the money I recieved, Charlie B. recieved 1000 from SMRE, and 2500 from Holt. I think Bales got the check from Bucky, and MR2. after we figure out what Travis' expenses are, than we will be able to figure the real payouts based on the percentages we came up with earlier.

paul wilson has lots of pics. I think everyone had a good time, some people came over and thanked me for helping get it done. Everyone got payed immediately, and all the money was spent. win was 5500.00
r/u 2500.00
semi 1200.00
1/4 800.00
free entry, all done in one day, seems simple to me. I talked to David Hakim, who is with Mancini now, to see if he wanted to handle this from now on. We talked with Chucker at mancini this morning also. They seem interested, and seem to want to market it, promote it, and maybe we can get more people to come watch it.
the semis had me and hebert, he redlighted, went a 57, and I got crossed up. dad had the bye. Final I got crossed up worse, switched lanes, and got a 131 stripe on the right side. (started in the left lane) I would suspect that this will be on you tube so everyone can see it. It was all body damage, it needs a side put on it. The new car is ready to pick up, so I guess they can start on fixing this one when I get the new one.

Re: more martin sponsors - 07/20/09 03:57 AM
I'll try to give a brief synopsis. Again thanks to CW for helping round up some great sponsors. BIG thanks go to the Blankenships for giving us a place to race, and letting us do whatever we wanted!! Even BIGGER thanks go to all the racers that make the haul to support this event.
Especially Mr. Bill Brooks, Mr. John Rains, and Mr. Stephen Hebert. Brooks is from FL, Rains from CA!!!!!, and Hebert is from LA. Talk about dedication!! EDIT: The Hards are from eastern PA, so they get a long haul award, too! And I know Bucky's ride is no easy trip, either....
There were 12 cars in the TNT Sat. morning. Don Bales and Jeff Kobylski had engine problems and were done before qualifying.
Final qualifying was
1.) CWJ
2.) CWS
3.) Hebert (A-BEAR)
4.) Rains
5.) Bucky
6.) Hard (ex-woo Cuda)
7.) Marvel
8.) Keyes
9.) Turk
10.) Brooks
Brooks hurt a trans, and marvel had engine issues, so they both missed elims.
CWJ over Hard
CWS bye over Marvel
Hebert over red Keyes
Rains over Turk
Bucky bye over Brooks, but Bucky broke trans on the line on his single.
2nd round was
CWJ competition bye
Hebert bye over Bucky
CWS over Rains
CWJ broke a trans on his bye, and Hebert told him take all the time he needed to take care of it.
Semis were
CWJ over Hebert Red. Hebert blasted to a 8.57 @ 153.65 (pretty sure that was 2nd lowest ET to CWJ 8.56 in qualifying.)
CWS competition bye
Finals
CWS over Junior. Got crossed up and came across the lanes and tagged the wall.
Charlie, we are all happy you are ok. I was thinking to myself right before the final how it always cool you and your dad run it all the way out whenever you race. There are no gimmies when it comes to family:) Just glad to see you're ok, and cars can be fixed!!
We had a blast and it was such a fun event. We WILL have another one for the CC event @ Norwalk, and are looking to get something together for the entire CC series in 2010.

I just want to thank the Wescotts for putting this together.
I doubt I'll ever be able to own one of these monsters but,
do love these cars and as far as factory muscle cars go,
have always thought of them as the "Baddest of the Bad."
Even though I plan on racing Super Pro at the Norwalk CC, I
hope I can still get to the starting line or fence to watch
these cars again.

http://hemishootout.net/index.php?option...c&Itemid=41this site has all the et's and speeds for every run. Hebert 8.572 was 3rd to my dads 8.571, and my 8.569 because I keep the good stuff for myself. I look forward to helping the hards and rains get up where they need to be also. Rains car is here now, and will have a fresh bullet before we go out again. Steve was nice enough to wait for us, but we would have made it anyways, it only took 32 mins to change the trans according to a friend of mine that was there. Now is time to get back in the groove for me, working on hensons now. He couldnt come because of a torn Retna, so I put his motor on hold for a week. My new car is getting picked up today, will drop off the old one shortly. Thanks for the fans that did show up, I wish we could get more. I should have thought about it before, but they have billboards on the track property next to the highway, I would have put a sign up there. I guess next year whoever handles this deal can do that if they see fit.
later

Charlie B should owe you $800.00. Or maybe John Holt race cars can present it to you, they presented the race. Rains told me he got 800 for losing 2nd rd.

When you going to take your "bracket" motor and put it in the '65 to go have some big car fun? I've been waiting to see you in the "tuna boat" as Ogburn affectionately calls the '65 cars.

Sorry we missed the race but we will be at Norwalk and Indy. Great job buy everybody involved especially Charlie. Again it is great to see what the Hemi guys and sponsers are doing for these cars, so thanks from the WV Hillbilly gang.

CWJ, I challenge that (keeping the good)! Still leaving low, shifting low and in the top tier. You and Holt did a heck of a job on Spyphish. If I can not master it's operation, I will find someone that can. LOOK OUT. Really enjoyed the event and thanks for your and the Holt's help in the pits. Stephen

My guess is that it will be fixed by the end of next week. I plan to focus on WF 2. If it isnt good enough for indy, I will take WF 1.

You'll be an ace Hemi driver in no time Spyphish. You looked pretty good at Vegas to me! Especially for a first-timer.
Besides....if Ogburn can do it anyone can. LOL

Charlie, I didn't realize your dad runs a Jerico
Posted By: lorenr
Re: 131 stripe - 07/25/09 05:15 AM
I'm also very curious about manual shift drag racing transmissions and clutch systems. What is the accepted procedure.
I was always unsure if the Jerico would accept abuse from a 1000 HP motor. Maybe the newest DR4-4 will.
I'm also guessing that a duel disc clutch is required.

Re: 131 stripe - 07/28/09 10:12 PM
I see Russ Cambell made some passes with his cuda at the div 3 points race. He only went 10.67 I wonder if he had any trouble or was he just making some shake down runs?????Does anyone know???????
Posted By: Ben Holt
Re: 131 stripe - 07/29/09 04:22 AM
Mr. Campbell was just making some shakedown runs. They literally bolted the engine in at DePillo's Friday morning, and made it to Columbus for the last Q Friday night. They had the "Wilkes" removed off of the doors and replaced it with "Missouri Mule", and it looks killer. It's tough getting a 4 speed guy to learn how to footbrake...that's all I will say
Russ and his wife are great people and will be a wonderful addition to the hemi crowd for sure.

Re: 131 stripe - 07/29/09 04:54 PM
Ben, does a 4 speed have "Park"?

Russ was having big problems with the 2 step, it would stay on after he left the line, looked like a super class car on a timer. Anyhow they are trying to get it fixed and he will be at our Xenia Buckeye SS/stock Series event on Sat august 1st racing.

what that means is bucky is still waiting for his $800.00. I called charlie B today to see what was up, but his phone was temporarally out of order. I will keep trying, the money was there, so I am sure it was just an oversight, I may be slightly out of the loop, since I wasnt the official race presenter.

I contacted Eric Lotz at NHRA, he is the one at NHRA that deals with MP on this program, he said they have nothing official yet as of last week. Roger told me that they did, I said they need to let NHRA know it because they say no and we need an announcement from NHRA. He replied to me (roger) that it was coming.
It is so ridiculous to me that all of this is over such a small amount of money. I heard there are only 16 or so cars entered now. I wonder if 20 will show up.

Well, 42 spots remain (unless SS can go over due to low car count in other classes?) and we have 20 cars signed up. Where is Hard?

Re: indy - 08/01/09 11:08 PM
The air was pretty killer when they ran this morning. The DA was around 600'+-. They ran just after us this morning. Third round he blew the tires off as many of the cars did in Q3 in the left lane. Raybourn went 8.67 in Q2 and Mazzolini was 8.78 and did not see him in Q3.
Gotta love these AH cars.

We tested at TMP this weekend. I've been out of racing for more than 15 years. Last car was a '69 Hemi Road Runner, more show that go.
Anyways we ran a couple of 9.41's at 143.5
Still don't have burnout down right. And leaving from just above an idle.
Would love to go to Indy but have no grade points. We'd be fish food for someone.

Thanks for the mention - 08/05/09 03:48 PM
Thanks for the mention of the HemiShootOut.net website. We are certainly trying to be an agent of promotion for the series. We welcome news items from any of the drivers - and be happy to post links for you..i.e so fans can find your t-shirts.
Also wanted to mention that I'm working with US Sports Advisors. We created a seminar for drivers that want sponsorship or a pro career, called Ahead of the Game Seminar - Motorsports Edition. On Tuesday, Sept 1, are third will be hosted at Don Schumacher's facility. Along with the tour of his shop - we'll spend four hours, covering how to build your own brand, strategies for promoting your career, and seeking the vital sponsorship dollars. Attendees, will even get a fully customizable proposal to help open corporate doors. If you know anyone - including drivers beginning at the age of 15 with their parents (parents of drivers 18 years and younger can come at no charge), we would appreciate the referral. More info at:
www.AheadoftheGameSeminar.com Press Release is attached.
Again, thanks for the mention...hope everyone is enjoying the trees!

With Harry retired there goes another of the great Hemi people . He was one of the people who had Hemi cars as far as I am concerned that others with Hemi's admired for many years. The first time I was introduced to him he talked as if he knew me for years. As far as I am concerned his retirement is a loss not only to us Hemi guys but to the sport. I wish you well!
