Old vs New during rounds - Page 7

Bruce Noland · 02-22-2014, 11:48 PM

I don't believe the Sorensens have made a pass in A/SA for quite some time. Come to think about it, when was the last time they raced at a nhra race? I really like what they have done over the years in A/SA and B/SA. But they never saw the day that they could win a heads up race against a fresh Drag Pak, much less Calvert in the 428 cj. There is only one older Camaro out there that can give these new cars a run for their money and it has been worked on for many years and gobs of money have been thrown at it.

Wait a minute. Are you now saying that if you buy the right parts and work hard enough there is a chance that older cars can run with the new stuff?

You guys are begging now. Lol. One car out of two thousand that is an anomaly does not mean that it is available to others.

We are not begging sir, you threw the info out there.

Of course you are sir. You are looking for any liitle hook to avoid the truth. The info I provided is on drag race central and is the truth. The old car guys are not adverse to the truth like, say, some of the new car guys who can't admit they are abusing their fellow racers. I know that fair competition is a hard concept for you guys to comprehend.

I don't see how anybody can fault a guy from buying & building one. The problem is the hp factor. They didn't set the hp factor. Hate the bogus hp factor, not the guy that owns one. I have friends with new cars. I love those cars. Would not love having to race one heads up.

If I had back the money I've spent on mine, I would have a new car. I'm not going to spend my retirement money on one.

If I had one I hope I would be honest about why it was fast. Hopefully not act like it was fast because I'm such a wizard. LOL

Sorry Bruce. I was just having a little fun.

I would have liked a Lynch vs Kador race. That would have been more telling than the other two runs mentioned above.

Gump, Bruce doesn't know how to have a little fun. He's the ultimate "Fact" machine! If anyone needs facts just ask Bruce Bruce!!
