Joe Sorenson
 

I was watching on NHRA TV and noticed that when Joe staged his headlights were on. After he pulled a wheels up launch they were out. At half track they came back on. ???????


i find that to be very interesting.


Why would you do that??

Faulty GM headlight switch would be my guess?

Hmmmmm

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

I'm with Tim on that one.

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

so a guy's headlights go out and then back on and your conclusion is he's cheating somehow but you haven't a clue how. :rolleyes:

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Just an odd thing to happen, I could see one might go out due to a loose
Connection maybe, but directly at launch, then both come back on directly the same time? Why was he the only one with headlights on anyway? It?s daytime

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

for as long as I've been racing, over 30 years, there are those that claim some racers are cheating yet they never have proof, don't have a clue to how they or anyone would cheat and said racer(s) are still racing and winning today while the one's making the claims either quit long ago or still can't win a round no mind a race.

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

I never made a claim saying anyone was ?cheating? you actually inserted that word, obviously it was an odd thing for ?stock eliminator? especially when it come to national points chasers racing other national hitters. Just an observation, I?m not ?claiming? anything, and last I checked I didn?t see
Your name on any qualifying sheet anywhere, yes I race and race often but I know your game anyway, so nuff said

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

This used to be such a nice site to visit and share some camaraderie and
teasing with fellow racers. Not so much anymore.

J.R.

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Agreed my friend

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

where's the camaraderie when you insinuate that another racer is cheating?

Yes the OP, you and tstickff did, own it!

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Names Tim, I?ll own anything I post, no problem there, believe it or not some people prob believe I?m almost as big an asshole as you!

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Headlight wires are probably tied into the brake light switch (accidently I'm assuming)

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Quite some time ago, I asked him why he has the car set up to do this, it isn't my place to explain why he does this but there is nothing magical going on here. If you ask him nicely, he will probably explain it to you.

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

At least they work!

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Joe is pitted right next to me. Super nice guy! If Joe wins next round. He takes back the points lead.

Goooooooo--Joe!

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

I don't think for a moment that Joe is cheating. He's just really good at what he does. And he and his brother make serious Horsepower not matter the
combination, BB, SB, 4 barrel, 2 barrel, smart people. I like the headlight idea, keeps people looking in that area, so you don't look where you might see something you can copy.

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Now you're doing a Biden and Harris and failing just like those 2 idiots!

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

OK,
Who was the guy that honked the horn when he went by?
RJ Sledge was that Jim Cimirolli ??

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Is that kinda like the Neal and Bob that you do?

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Joe and his brother Hal have probably forgotten more than many people know about how to make a car run fast. They make great horsepower and let their car talk for them. They are friends of mine and when they talk, people listen.

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Mission accomplished Joe!

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

there can be only one explanation-when the lights come on it activates the
antigravitational thermal nano- magnets in the driveshaft which upon reaching warp speed will accelerate the car forward at 1/ten trillionth of a millisecond and this in turn will cause enormous G Forces on the driver until they turn the lights off.

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

and I have the timeslip to prove it -- just cant find it

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Keep people wondering. Make them look at what doesn't even matter. Gets in their head. Joe and Hal are sharp, all the respect in the world to those guys, they always had two tenths on my stuff, at least.

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

One member of this forum is responsible for this and it's Ed Bigley.

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

I'm pretty sure they run cow magnets on the infeed fuel line, someone out there should look into that feature as a method of cheating also.

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Best way to handle is not to respond to anything he posts.

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Nah, he along with the few other haters can’t do it, they live for the drama they create.

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

I vote to ban Ed immediately.

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Heads up final. Should be FUN to watch.

Joe Sorenson and Chad Langdon.

My vote is Joe.

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

With the currently running thread on holding, what is a special thing turns into a very special thing. Though they're two very experienced racers, I truly hope there isn't a redlight.

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Of course you do frank, that’s no surprise :D

I vote to ban those that showed why this forum is such a nice site to visit and share some camaraderie by insinuating a racer was cheating! :rolleyes:

Remember this from 13 years ago frank?

You lied!

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

With al due respect to all here is my conspiracy theory:
Looking at the qualifying sheet where he qualified how far under the F index his dial all week he may be in protection mode slowing the car down lowering the average. Running the headlights will load the alternator eating some HP.
The on off could be as simple as an old switch or loose ground.

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Congratulations to Joe and Hal!

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

This is to funny if you know the Sorenson brothers you know they are not to concerned about the averages that much. Just look at the hp, combos got last year. Also pretty sure they just took the points lead back and there is 20 plus points on the line to win this race, heads up in the final yea they are not worry about an average.

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

Congrats Hal and Joe!

Half of the paragraph I wrote shows up! Smash this thing!

Re: Joe Sorenson
 

In a couple weeks. I hope to see the photo of Joe in a tuxedo. Nice Job!

Re: Joe Sorenson
