US 131 Dragway in Martin Michigan was the sight of a wild and wooly Hemi Shoot-Out in which the father/son Hemi Militia team of Charlie Wescott Jr. and Sr. emerged with the win but was bruised and battered in the battle.
The horsepower took it's toll on the Super Stock Ranks as several cars broke in the qualifying rounds and did not make the call for Eliminations. The Final paired the two Hemi Militia cars (the Warfish and Fish Tank) and it was a very dramatic Final!
Wescott Jr. got a little wide to the left upon launching and ended up crossing up and over to the other lane, He almost saved the car but ended up against the wall and did cosmetic damage to the body. Wescott Jr. was not injured in the accident and was still in good spirits after the race. Charlie Sr. went on to post an 8.51 E/T and took home the win! Wescott Jr. was real close to debuting an all new War Fish car this season and you can be sure that it will be coming out real soon!
