Sorensen in Super Stock - Vegas

You have the supposedly quickest "legal" GM stocker on the planet and you enter Super Stock (again) instead of Stock. Things that make you wonder.......

Now Fred do you think this is important?

You ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, they didn't intend on going. Then by the time they made plans, arranged for time off from work, got everything figured out, that oops! Stock was full-at quota!
It happens! So Super Stock was the only alternative if they still wanted to race.

Some of you conspiracy people must have way too much time on your hands....

Ed, yes I know first hand it can happen. Look at the entry list in Pomona. Do you see my name? Guess what-I do this for a living, and I'm only going to be able to race one of my 2 cars at the finals, because I didn't enter in time! Luckily I have a gold card and can enter one even if the quota has been met. I was going to enter on Tuesday on my phone, but since there were 10-15 spots left, I decided to enter on Thursday after I flew home to do it on the real computer. Well, sure enough it was full.
So yes, it can happen!

You wouldn't know what you were looking for, or for that matter, looking at.

How many times does a NHRA OFFICIAL have to tech Joe Sorensen's car and declare it legal and prove he is not cheating for you guys?
