Old vs New during rounds - Page 2

For what it is worth......we got the bracket we wanted. We knew that Tibor and Doug Lambeck were faster....Tibor went out in the 3rd rd, I think....(we would have had him in the 4th round.....Doug went went out in the first. We just didn't know about Lynch's car. I could not find any history of his car, so we just didn't know......according to qualifying, we were OK......but like everyone else, things are held back, us included. We thought that we could have 3 heads up rounds before getting to Tibor, and based on qualifying, we would have been OK. We put everything we had into the Hemi and it still wasn't good enough for Lynch. So, Good for Keith...he did what he had to do. We wanted a 20-35 light figuring if qualifying times were close, we were OK....because we knew we would pick up...If Keith was "holding a bunch", a couple of hun would not make much difference.....Dwight had a 30 lite and drove perfectly....It just wasn't meant to be.

Sean, those are some pretty high stakes, my friend. I know that car has been running in Super Stock recently, with success. Do you believe that he is faster that DeArmond in stock form?

Do you think they could stay up with this stocker.1 7083 SS/DA Andrew Durham, Upland CA, '11 Challenger 9.177 10.20 -1.023. Last year Pomona 63 6633 SS/EA Joe Sorensen, Woodburn OR, '69 Camaro 10.148 10.35 -0.202

No, but that "stocker" is running Super stock. I'm sure it's still legal for stock.....but not a fair comparison, since we all don't know.

I guess my point is that the Challenger can out run two pretty good cars easily and has had 120 hp added to it.

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.
