I was wondering the same thing. Not being a Ford guy, I really dont know what this combo consists of. Which parts makes it "paper" instead of factory.

390 type Edelbrock alum. head, small valves, with on LARGE 850 cfm holley is what he runs and its what makes it a "PAPER" combo but so what ! Its what the NHRA allows such as fuel cells, replacement alum. heads with different exhaust ports on 396 chebbies,wheelie bars, acid or media blasted ported heads, aftermarket rods with chevy rod bearing size, small lite auto trans, aftermarket stick trans, and on and on. Get over it. Its NHRA,s ball park so ya gotta play by NHRA's rules. Stock died in 1985 with the cam and spring rule change.

The Sorensen Camaro is fast. I believe if he had been at Indy, unless he screwed up, he would have won class. I was close to the top end. Jimmy left first, Sorensen caught up past the 1/8 and was about 1 car ahead. I also heard a change in RPM like if Sorensen lifted at the stripe.

I believe the fastest is sitting in South Dakota That is where the record is at.

This was not a record setting pass for the Sorensens or Jimmy. It was a heads-up run and the corrected altitute at the track was probably around 2000+ feet.

Brian Zenzen · 09-30-2008, 02:53 PM

i believe as it stands an older gentleman in south dakota holds the record

The air was around 3000 ft, barometer was 28.49. I'm sure if the Sorensen's want to set the record, they can.

It's too bad National Records don't PAY---even Pts..........I think you would see a few more people throwing up big numbers and evening out combo's.
