New B/SA record for Sorenson?

Shawn Blair · 05-01-2010, 04:42 PM

10.207 today, corrects to 9.87 That's flying!

Bob Smith · 05-02-2010, 01:41 PM

9.87 is flying!!! Congratulations to that family and team. I was just wondering, I do not remember seeing them at Indy in recent years, do they go? 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???

Home field advantage?

Jared Jordan · 05-02-2010, 08:56 PM

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.

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!

Thats not saying much.....have you ever seen some of his (Little's) customers heads (I never saw his)......I have seen a couple of his customers heads in the past----at the first Top Stock race in Norwalk is one example. Never saw Sorensons stuff so I cant say anything. Ancient History anyway I guess so it really dosent matter. Just wanted to say there is a LOT of crap that is being passed and a LOT that LOOKS REAL GOOD (you guys are getting good at hiding stuff....lol) and passed but not much going fast is untouched unless the combo is way under factored. The older combos have been flogged to death for years if that gives you any idea of whats going on. If you think its all good engine building then I have a couple of bridges for sale if your interested.

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.
