Re: Sorenson 1.408 under at Boise
Ya John, just had a stent put in a blocked artery and that punk really pissed me off. Let's see if he has the balls to answer me. One thing is for sure I sure miss all you guys. Thanks for the kind words.

Re: Sorenson 1.408 under at Boise
I'm new at this, but I'll never learn if I don't ask .. why would you want to lighten up before going to the scales after a run? Seems to me you would want to be the other way around...

So he would be declared illegal and not have to take the HP hit on Monday. Jim

Re: Sorenson 1.408 under at Boise
Dave
Evidently we both took a turn at pushing each others "buttons". Without a doubt I have offended you and for that I sincerely apologize. PM me you phone number and I'l be happy to talk to you in person. However I still believe anybody that posts should sign their real name. So we have a difference of opinion on that subject. I don't feel it necessary to compare credentials and I don't know how old you think I am or how long I've been in this racket, but something you might relate to is I'm old enough to remember racing at the old Orange County (OCIR) track well before it closed. The issue with Hal is not the fact that he drained water out of the rad it is that he HAD to drain water out of the rad to kill a run. I have made no secret of the fact I dislike the AHFS in it's present configuration. For one thing it doesn't take into consideration exceptional conditions like today in Boise. The conditions were beyond mineshaft. Those who normally are fast were real fast today. Those who are normally real fast were bullets today. However the key is these were not normal conditions. So you end up with a HP gift on Monday as a result of unrealistic conditions that may not be duplicated again for years. It doesn't add up to me. Then I read a post from anonymous contributor, who I felt was taking pot shots at friends of mine and I reacted. I haven't been able to find the rule about taking weight out of the car. Perhaps you or someone can point that out to me sometime. Chuck Porter

Re: Sorenson 1.408 under at Boise
I think I remember the 70 E body hemi getting alot of HP on runs where it didnt scale or fuel check at 9am on a below sea level morning.
Ebody hemi 457 Bbody hemi 430 Same motor So it shouldnt matter if you are light if your giving HP to someone who didnt scale. |

Re: Sorenson 1.408 under at Boise
If you think that Dave was tough at the track you should try having him for a boss.
I worked for him (he will claim that I never worked a day in my life) back in the early 80's and he was always a racers racer. The big problem was all of us getting off to race our cars at the same time. Glad to hear that you're OK. Take care, Bob, Rich & Dave
