Sorenson 1.408 under at Boise - Page 2

Dave
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.

Dave,
Glad to hear your doing well and I'm real glad to hear they did not do a complete quadruple by-pass on you because you'd really be tearing us all a new one.

If it would got "hit" the 427/425 with alu-heads would had a higher rating than the L88..shows the weakness of the system!

p.s. C/SA lokks really good with 3 different Combos within .025..how that now could have come outta this system..

Bill Kost was a highly respected Div. 6 racer who probably won more races than you have entered. Do I care if you take me seriously? No because you are a nobody with a big mouth. I don't deal in bull**** just facts. My anonymous sources choose to remain that way because they are at Boise and qualified in the top 15. Yes they are actually racing their cars which is more than I can say for you. Of course your probably a bottom feeder anyway.
Removing weight from the car after a run before you weigh is against the rules. But then I wouldn't expect a green horn such as your self to know that. Don't you think draining the water is removing weight?
Steve Dimbo operates the scales at Boise and watched the Sorenson boys drain the water.(lighten the car) Don't get me wrong the Sorenson Bros.are good racers and that car is fast in "A" or "B". They whipped us a couple of times and we whipped them a couple of times. We know each other well.
So there are your answers "Mouth". Sounds like you need to stick to Wed.night grudge racing. You might get lucky and beat some high school kid.

OLD GUY
RIP Bill Kost

Well written Dave -- and you're right -- draining water is taking weight out .........

Great to hear from Dave Schmitz. When I first met him he had a new 62 Chevy 409. He COULD drive!
Then he had a 63 Plymouth SS/A car. Those days were fun. Dave, my e-mail is sincitybobk@yahoo.com
Would be great to hear from you. BK P.S. Still racing my N/SS Thunderbolt, lost tonight by 4 tenthousaths ..... bracket racing is fun??

I was standing at the scales, as well as a jent named john hill, waiting to get our fuel cups, when Hal Sorenson pulled on the scales, old guy. I saw no water being drained out. Incidently, my previous run weight was 3685, I took out 18#, and my current weight was 3650, obviously a scale issue. Several other cars noted weight disparity to previous runs. You should examine your information source a bit more closely before makine these kinds of claims.

Mike........Is your middle name RED as in `RED HERRING`
