Sorenson 1.408 under at Boise

[John Mason]

Still as quiet and shy as ever, Dave?

[OLD GUY]

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.

[Bill Bagley]

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...

[Jim Wahl]

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

Dave ; I'm glad you are alive and well. Hope its not true about Hal.

Larry,
Good to hear from you. Noticed you put the cuda in "A" . I remember when Darin and I did that and the dam thing went a 10.12 at Pomona. I didn't think it would go that fast. The toughest thing I ever did was sell that car. So far I have survived Prostate Cancer, a stroke, and now a 90% blocked artery. I am glad to still be here. Love to read your reports on the races. Unfortunately Hal did what he did and the information is from 2 very reliable sources. Read the qualifying sheet and you will be able to figure out who the sources are. Say hi to Patsy for me.

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.

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.

That would be the Fred Henson fiasco. Funnyest thing Fred was responsible for all 27 HP.You say same motor. The truth is the exact same motor. Fred pulled the motor out of the Challenger and put it in the GTX which now belongs to Ronnie West. The E body Street Hemi is history until NHRA fixes that problem.I am really in favor of a personal CIC system. If you go 1.40 under you pay the price not all the guys running the combination.

Chuck, your name rings a bell but I can't remember what you drove back in the OCIR days. Do you remember my dad's car (my avitar) or other Wilson Ford guys? Just curious.
