Sorenson's 1.408 under decision

[Tom Meyer]

In talking to my div tech director this how it is no nhra person saw what happened so no hp hit. However new langauge is beinng writen as far as 1.40 under. Kind of closeing the barn door after the horse got out. So untill we see somthing in writing the matter is dead. I think his veiw was it has to be seen by someone from nhra and it is ilegal to take out wieght of taint a fuel sample to void a run. I also found out the hard way that only Nal event runs count for ahfs averages. On fri before teching in I asked the div tech director and div director if div runs counted on the average and was told yes then after my fist run on sat I was told that they had called Cal and now it was nal only so much for that.So now with so few cars in the average there maybe a lot of hp given out unless you had your car painted in Cal.

Sorenson's car sure has lost a lot of its luster!!!! His car will still beat mine in a heads-up run every time, but it won't mean as much as it did before Boisie.

This system really needs more of persons input rather than new "writing" that gets NHRA of the hook...this was 1.40 under the sealevel index at an altitude track...like 1.60 under..come on..were is the fairness to others that got this treat?

p.s. Why didn't he get the Record?was the other runs too far apart and the slower ET over current Record?

So, we can run as fast as we want at div races, as long as we stay off that 1.40 trigger, without hurting our AHFS averages?

WHAT happened to kevin cours post on this matter?

[Tom Meyer]

Thats my take on it Ed. It is now a three person board Bruce Danny and I can not rember the other so like I said maybe you need your car painted in Cal. Tom

[Jack Matyas]

Tom -- I don't agree with your anology as I'm probably one of the few on this board who has had his car painted in California and it hasn't helped me over the years one bit -- not one little bit .. ever......

PS-- I really hate to admit it but I got some very nice paint work .

Billy -- Nothing -- Nada -- Zip -- Zero..........if anything it was harder on me ......................If you remember I've already taken the 1.40 hit on Monday ........maybe I should have tried this weight / water deal instead .

[Jack Matyas]

Ed -- Thanks for the offer but we have plenty of good painters here in the East . At the time my GTO served as a "West Coast" car and burned up pretty good at Pomona.........when "they" were done you couldn't tell it was ever on fire and still retained all of the original sheetmetal ...............
