Home field advantage?

That car would be fast wherever it was run. I don't know why they go to Indy, but don't start the "homefield advantage" stuff. As long as I can recall, the Sorensen Brothers have been as fast as they want to be.

See them running Super Stock at the national events and then stock at the divisionals, what is the reason for that? Is it something to do with those grade points or? They sure do run good up in their division but nowhere else???

I'm guessing it is a lot of time off and $$ out of pocket to get from their house to Indy, sitting there for 6 days, and back.

Do they bring a pan to drain the radiator when they travel? :>)

The Sorensons were at Indy in 2004. Qualified in the top half, lost a close run to Don Little in semis of A/SA (10.10 to 10.20). So, yes, they are fast, and not just in Div 6 and 7.

Ed, are you suggesting there is a performance enhancing substance in the coolant of their racecar....I've pondered this but I have yet to see anybody talk about it. Since a higher percentage of cars already consume some coolant in their combustion chambers, why not utilize this with some addition of "X" substance? Has anyone ever been busted for such? Does tech ever check? Enlighten me! ;)

WOW, come on guys give the Sorenson brothers a little credit for their hard work.

Ed, your picking on the wrong guys. Sorenson's car is the elite of the field on the west coast, they don't need any home field advantage.

Jason,they had a little to do about allegedly dumping the rad to come up light after a run that would have hit their combo.
David and Jim,I'm only having a bit of fun with this.
Jim,how's the fish bowl doing? :>)
