Nitro Joes top ten?

[art leong]

Does anyone know what it takes to get in Joes top ten in Superstock so far this year?

As of 8/10/11, the # ten car at sea level tracks was -1.085. # ten at altitude adjusted tracks was -.994.

You are right Chuck my tow rig would not get my car to the track without it's turbo. I would go out on a limb and say that everyone of Joe's top ten have a turbo.

Actually, according to my August 10, listing of the sea-level numbers, there are four un-naturally aspirated cars and two modifieds in the Top Gun rankings. That leaves four spots for ordinary combinations. None of the unblown, non-scooped cars are traditional Super Stockers.

In contrast to that, the altitude tracks show only one blown car (at the top of the list), one modified (#2), and a couple of traditional SS cars, one a '56 Chevy!

I have no idea what it all means but it's a little slow in California this morning so this is my contribution for the day.

I've made the top ten the last 2 years in SS and there is nothing "un-natural" about my car.

Maybe some of the none blown or non turbo cars choose not to go that fast.
