New B/SA record for Sorenson?

[Ed Fernandez]

Jason,they had a little to do about allegedly dumping the rad to come up light after a run that would have hit their combo.
David and Jim,I'm only having a bit of fun with this.
Jim,how's the fish bowl doing? :>)

oh yes..I do remember that episode clearly from here on the forum. I was thinking other ways to cheat like we all do..

There's always the "Aw shucks the original steel heads are getting hard to find,why can't i use some of them new fangled pretty aluminum ones they're making now.I'll even let you penalize me 5 HP for using them".and so on and so on.

Ed, realistically, how much weight do you think that draining the radiator would accomplish? From other racers that were actually AT Boise last year, the water from the rad was just caused by a hot engine & /or weak rad cap filling the overflow bottle until some spilled out. The Sorenson have always had fast cars, going back to their 305 Camaro. They have set a number of records, and survived plenty of teardowns.

Rory,I said the water post in jest.The superseded post is for real.You pick your combo,you live with what you're given.
Like Terry said,tech inspection is VERY subjective depending who and where you are.

Give the Sorenson brothers some credit!! they work hard on there stuff. As for Tech. we have good people!!! Rumor has it ED. the Sorenson bros. would like to lunch...........

Congratulations to the Sorenson’s!
And for all the naysayers the car is LEGAL.
For those inquiring it is an iron head motor. I was just there for a few seconds to say hi during their tear down and did not pay much attention to how big the bore was. 427 used to be their bullet of choice not sure if they stuck with that going to B/SA

Would you like to make a complete sentence so it makes sense.
I guess it all depends who you are when your spoken of as a hard worker or a cheater.
Remember when Peter,Dan and Lee wee winning?They weren't good,they cheated.
I never said the Sorensen's were cheating.I said that when they dumped the rad and supposedly passed the scales that they should have been sent to the penalty box.
If I were going to call out someone as a cheater I would have the protest money in my pocket.

I saw their parts at the machine shop in the off season (we use the same shop). I'm no expert, but I have known Hal and Joe for about 27 years and they are NOT the type of guys who would cheat. They ARE the type of guys who would work their butts off trying every little variation to squeeze every last hundredth out of their car (and I mean the whole car, not just the engine).
