No HP on the Sorenson combo?
 

Not wanting to antagonize anyone especially my Chevy friends, but why is there no HP on the Sorenson combo? Can anyone shed some light? From what I have read he went 1.40 under @sea level correction. Soooooo then according to the AHFS rules it’s automatic 3.25% just like the Ebody HEMI’S got, or am I missing something?

run did not count! did not pass weight!


I guess????

would like to know for sure myself??

Re: No HP on the Sorenson combo?
 

Fred Henson didn't pass weight when he got HP'ed at No Problem for going 1.40 under. He didn't even go over the scales. But Monday there was the feared 3.25% added to the 426 Hemi, but then it ain't a Chevy and it ain't Div 4. I see this as a problem issue. I'm also not sure if Bob Dennis went over the scales every time he gets hit. He has large experience in this field.

They were 3 tenths faster than other cars going for and getting records including one of the fastest B cars...that is one bad ride for sure...but something is still wrong in this picture..

I believe the answer is Glendora suddenly has cold feet. If that was you or Steve Wann you would have had HP before you got back to the trailer. I guess the rules don't apply to Chevy guys. Bruce doesn't return phone calls on this issue either

Dave -- Believe me I know firsthand the rules do apply to Chevy's -- a couple of years ago I hit the magic 1.40 mark by accident when the air got great at Atco and on Monday morning our LT1 Camaro got the 3.25% gift ............

Thats the point Jeff. Fred never went across the scale. The camaro did and failed!! Run disqualified!!

Re: No HP on the Sorenson combo?
 

So according to the rule book p48 (weighing of vehicle/fuel check) Fred Henson should have been disqualified from the event. And the run should not have counted. Unless I’m reading it wrong.

Re: No HP on the Sorenson combo?
 

Perhaps at the race at Belle Rose being a first round loser he was waved past the scales.I've seen that a lot...

Re: No HP on the Sorenson combo?
 

Why have a rule if the people who made the rule do not enforce it evenly?
