New B/SA record for Sorenson?

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Rory,I said the water post in jest.The superseded post is for real.You pick your combo,you live with what you're given.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).

Michael- Hal was seen conversing with Ricky Ruiz, the "Nevada Rattler" about some tuning options on the hill prior to the "record blast."

Sean, you bring up a great point. I am a top end guy for "Captain Jack Harris" the nostalgia top fuel car. Hal was also in our hauler several times this weekend working with our crew chief on some sort of Nitro blended Pro Stock oil and using our spark plugs and timing curves for making power up on the mountain. I believe it worked, super fast and 100' plus long wheel stands on the mountain, Stout! Great Job Guys!
