Why would Sorensen run ESA?
That?s Cooters class
He?s smarter than that
Misprint?

It really doesn't have much to do with the hood. If the car has a 350/255 then it HAS to run either F/G/H Stock which he did in Dallas (G). At the Vegas Natl. Event, he ran F, At the Div. Race, he's running E. A 350/255 combo can't run E. A 350/300 combo can't run G. Did he change the heads or the engine since Dallas? The hood is just one of those things that SHOULD be changed (the Fletcher rule).
As far as running E and CLAIMING a 350/300 if it's not then that could screw up the AHFS averages. I'm not accusing Joe of cheating, I'm just asking a legitimate question that any Stock Eliminator Racer should be asking and did any NHRA Tech Official look or even care?

Anyone who would question these two Brother's Stock Racing Integrity doesn?t have a clue. They were racing for a Championship. All eyes were on them. Don?t you think they would have all the bases covered? I certainly do.
Totally disappointed and disrespectful comments.
These aren?t high dollar racers, it?s old school at its finest!
Congratulations Joe and Hal Sorenson for a well tuned / built and driven Championship.


My last post here.

Barry, there's no disrespect intended on my end and I'm glad that a couple of old poops are the World Champs but I believe that a legitimate question was asked about the combo claimed.

I don't think Billy nor myself are questioning anyone's integrity just asking a reasonable question. Amen I missing something here?

I am so happy that they got the radiator leak at the scales fixed. A tip of the hat to Joe and Hal for reading and understanding the rulebook. Congratulations on winning the championship.

The hood is legal on a NON SS Camaro. As for the combo, they changed heads for the Vegas races. Is everyone gonna sleep now?

As for the SORENSEN (spelling) brothers, congratulations to two of the hardest working in stock eliminator!
