I guess you missed my point again Bill. To bad you don't recognize sarcasm when you see it. I have to hand it to you, you can spin and cherry pick with the best of them! You should be a politician. Look Bill it's real simple. Turbo guys don't do anything more to gain performance than non turbo guys do. They take completely legal factory equipment and try to get the most performance out of it they can, sort of like advancing a distributor further than factory settings or jetting a carb richer than factory specs or installing a different rear end ratio than was available from the factory or putting the cam in at a different spec than a factory cam or doing a different valve job than the factory spec, on and on and on. The point that you just plain don't like turbo cars does not make the fact that the turbos are adjustable illegal! Turbos are adjustable, distributors are adjustable, carbs are adjustable, cams are adjustable. get the point? There is nothing illegal with adjusting these types of equipment to your advantage. The fact also remains that more turbo cars qualify below the 50th percentile than qualify in the top 10.

Now I want to go on the record , I have no problem with Bob Dennis either, in fact I think he is amazing and consider him a friend. However if you really had a problem with any single entity qualifying in the #1 position disproportionally, you would have a problem with him.

Now as you may or may not know I ran a FWD Cadillac Cimarron many years ago. One year I qualified #1 at 5 different NATIONAL events including Indy. At that time there were only two Cadillac Cimarrons in the country. At that time also there were only 20 National events. That means that combo in that year qualified #1 at 25% of the National events. This was NOT a turbo car. Now this car was completely legal and I set the record with this car 5 times and was torn down 19 times in 18 years. Tell me what you would try and limit on this car?

Turbo cars are legal and are taking the same advantage of factory parts that ALL other combos are doing and NOTHING more. Admit it Bill, you ARE a turbophobe! There is help available for you. Jim
