I too have used the foot pumps, till last season when I "borrowed" my sons Blackburn Airtower 2. Its a cadillac of pumps. High quality pieces throughout 140LB air setting, and is about 250% more efficient than a foot pump. Wedges in just fine behind the seat of the truck, or in the bed of course next to the lawnchair and cooler. I ordered one for myself.

In any event you will be living the GT/Truck dream next season if your stuck in the lanes for 2.5 hours due to a oil down, as the sun and temp come crashing down, calmy biding your time in your comfy lawn chair, enjoying a cold soda, checking weather, adding air if you need it......glad you didn't build a anteater car!

Make sure to secure your additional ballast.

Eric, Thanks for the note. gave me a smile. I will check into your pump recommendation.

I have an update that will most likely be the route I take. The last five bracket cars we built used the "air armed" on-board compressor. It is a very sweet piece, we use it for shifter and starting line controller. It also is completely capable of topping off tires. There will be less than 3 pounds between the "air armed" and a small C02 bottle so what ever

With the Super 10 build I am considering each component for weight. The original plan was to run "B" which will be 3090 pounds with driver. However, because I am a , err, well, "large man" the 3090 pounds with driver may not be possible.

Of course, I can race it overweight and that is an OK option. But the better option is changing to "C" which will be 3372 pounds. It will require some ballast for so that gives the option to place weight as needed.

Is Miller the exclusive dealer for the Air Armed compressor?
