"In response to "fredjohnston" and Tom Dolan Joe took the following steps this afternoon at the Woodburn division 6 race today. After the tear down was complete the engine was sealed by a tech official, along with the motor mount bolts and the carburetor, it is sealed as a complete unit. At this same time the tech official took digital pictures of the engine being sealed."
Mr. Gaynor, the sealing of this motor at the D-6 race means absolutely nothing. I, like everyone else, can buy the sealer at any store and re-seal the motor. Put down a fast number at a National Event and take it completely apart the same day--immediately after the run. Do that and we've got a deal. |

Tommy,
These guys obviously have no balls or money they are just big mouth keyboard whiners. Even if Joe and Hal AND the NHRA agreed to do it at a national event we all know these guys would come up with a new excuse not to put up the money.

Tommy,
I never offered any money to find out if he is legal, I'm just a trouble maker. I'm pointing out some interesting facts. If he got passed tear down that's fine with me. But getting by tear down for a record is not the same as getting torn down at Indy. As for sealing a motor, if you think that's a guarantee that you can't doing anything to a motor you are naive. You can get the sealer that NHRA uses very easily. The bottom line is he has the record, but he never goes that fast at races where there is class. I think that is strange, don't you? If setting records and going fast is what they are all about, then why would you not want to show it at a class race? |

I think the Sorensens are smart about not going fast in class. Winning class is not worth the possible horsepower.

A fast 427 Super Stock car runs low 9 teens at 144 in SS/DA, at the same weight break as AA/SA, but the SS factor is 435, not 425, like it is in Stock. The difference is approximately 5 tenths. And 7 MPH. Carrying 75 pounds more.
