Nitrous and .90 racing

One takes away power, the other adds it.

Other than getting it off your chest, nope. I'm pretty sure Graham Light's not reading this...

I understand. But what happens when the time in the throttle stop elapses? the car gets additional power. What happens when the nitrous timer starts up, the same thing. As you mentioned, they do it in different ways, but a similar effect happens. At some point after launching, the car picks up additional power.

Thanks Capt. Obvious. I wasn't aiming for that angle at this point (I am aware of how to contact NHRA since the division 2 office is about 20 minutes from my house). I was aiming more for the Southern 10.90 Outlaw Association and the S/ST class that is run at Silver Dollar that until this year allowed nitrous to be used. Again, say nothing and usually nothing is changed. Bring a topic to the table and some may consider/re-consider it.

I'm sure the discussion has greatly advanced your case.

Derek, give it up man. Some will just never get it.

I want nitrous in Super classes so I can spend a lot less than some "real race cars" and still make them look like idiots at the stripe. There, I said it. "Some" Super class racers (not everybody, friends) don't like racing against the jug because they largely don't understand how to race against anything but a clean wheel and don't want somebody spending $500 and one night in the garage to embarass their high-HP combos when it's time to "light the lamps" on Sunday.

By the way, Derek, the guy you're arguing with is running a left-steer roadster in a class with "Street" in the name after moving up from a tube-chassis door car. Just thought that would really get your blood pressure going. But Dan, I still like you even if we don't agree on this one.

The serious bracket racers (both of them) reading this thread are ROTFLTAO.

I would have to dial honest, i wouldnt wanna the nitous assisted ride tapping past me as i tried to back into him with my high hp/dollar s/st car. But knowing he had it would make me adjust and run the race differently. I know from experience you can dial a car with it easily if you just needed to run the #.
