SOROKIN WINS HRHS NOSTALGIA TF TITLE

Adam Sorokin  took home the 2012 NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Series Championships this past weekend at the season ending California Hot Rod Reunion presented by the Automobile Club of Southern California at Auto Club Famoso Raceway.

Sorokin, La Crecenta, Calif., came into the event with a 41 point lead over Rick Williamson, the only driver with a shot to overtake him in Nostalgia Top Fuel.  Williamson, Stockton, Calif., qualified No. 1 to Sorokin’s No. 8 to gain five points but when Sorokin beat Rick White in round two, advancing to the semifinals, it wrapped up the championship for Sorokin which is his second having won it back in 2010 as well.

Sorokin faced off with Williamson in the final with Williamson taking the event win with a run of 5.809 seconds at 235.23 mph as both drivers suffered mechanical problems.  Sorokin had a pair of wins in three final rounds on the year winning at Firebird Raceway and Sacramento Raceway.
