Nitrous and .90 racing

[dhmoore]

Your all missing the point... A blower or super charger, and a turbo charger can not be changed going down the track. You cannot change the boost or the pullys,

n2o is a chemical. It is also very explosive, do you want some jurk next to you with no brains with this stuff? I have been to the track and seen a intake explode, it hit joe deluca in the head...

If you want to go faster take some weight out OF your car, it takes some work so get off your fat lazy *** like most racers do..

To get more cars at the div. Races, nhra could change the rule on the weight..2800 lbs. Is so stupid. And you know that a heavy car is not as safe as a lite one on. ( i mean mass)

n2o just makes a soso driver look good, cant cut a lite just hit the bottle ...wow


we have no weight rule in the southeast 10.90 outlaw assn so come race with us

I agree with this part (although it probably wouldn't help Derek). My car (like many "old school" S/G cars) is too light to run S/ST while meeting the limitations on added ballast. It would cost a lot less to run S/ST than to update my car enough to be competitive in today's S/G environment.

Ah, of course. Everyone that builds a blower or turbocharged motor can't possibly blow it up (hmmmmm, Top Fuel and Funny Car ring a bell??), but all the nitrous racers will (guessing you based this on watching Fast and the Furious). Last I checked, backfires happen on carburetors without a nitrous system, so does that mean we all have to go to EFI to be safe now? And of course I can change my nitrous settings as I go down the track. I'll just keep the hood open, launch the car and change the jets as I see fit AS I'M RACING!

Beautiful closed mind sir. You've never met me, yet I'm fat, lazy and an *** all at once. Okay, I go glass hood, bumpers and light seats, and why not dump the full 3 inch exhaust for 70 additional pounds on a car already making 425 rwhp. Now I can run 10.90s. But wait, that stuff isn't free! So I'm shelling out $1,000 plus to run the index, now my car isn't streetable. Or instead we come back to the $500-600 nitrous system idea, and I can still enjoy the car both ways? Hmmm tough call....

A little 411, the nitrous is on the car for TNT and fun runs at the moment, and last I checked racing was supposed to be for fun. And another fact, if you cut a crappy light, going faster than your index or dial-in doesn't offset that bad light to get you a win. But thanks for the tip! Maybe I'll get off my butt and try that. Should work great for a so-so driver like me....
