Until you can personally run that good, an opinion about the new cars being put into a different class is a moot point, that's all I'm saying. Once again, IMHO...that's all.

Since, in your view, the Sorensen's are one of the few people entitled to an opinion on this, what is their opinion? I don't know, but I doubt they would be too upset if they were put into their own class.

I do know one thing though, Hal Sorensen would like to congratulate the CJ and DP owners on all their hard work on the dyno. It's really starting to pay off.

I know , Hal has already congratulated me, albeit through another voice, not his own. But that's ok, a leopard can't change it's spots. Once again, I'll use the measuring stick, Sorensen's car has proven that a old car can compete. If NHRA would just get the factors a little closer, I don't think I would have shorted out computer terminals from all the seepage!

Nice try Bryan! Glad you shut off early to ONLY go -.982 and avoid a trigger. Because YOU would probably be the one to get hp! Jeez....

Would Bryan's opinion count? #55 qualifier and -1.282 the old index....

Maybe I've been living under a rock but I thought Sorenson's fastest run was a 9.75...at Mission. And what is your "magical number" someone has to run to be able to dare speak of the injustice of the new cars? Fezell has been in the 30's in 2,000 feet. That's pretty damn close to a half second off the pace. But again, maybe I'm wrong and he has been faster than that at an NHRA unfactored track.

Another factor that needs to be addressed. Oh, wait, just stick him in another class.....how convenient. Do your job NHRA and fix the factor problem. Don't take the easy road like usual and just create another class. This is another reason I sold my '96 Camaro when I did.....right before the FI classes came out.
