VERY interesting........things that make you go hmmmm.

 

You guys ever see one of these cheater nitrous systems?

 

wow hiding a nitrous bottle in the oil pan, that is just crazy.. I think the point of the article could relate to any type of racing, even ours.. don't just assume someone is cheating because they are on top of their game.. maybe they have learned something you havn't, had an idea you havn't, or just flat out worked harder.

 

I wanted to add the following just to show that the NHRA is trying to tighten up the competition and hope to bring those KB cars closer to the rest of the field. These rules were just made effective this month...

Engine: Add new second paragraph, "Effective 7/15/2004, all large (valve covers, intake manifolds, headers, heads, blocks, etc.) and all moving engine components are restricted to aluminum, steel, iron, titanium, magnesium, or other conventional alloys; carbon fiber, Kevlar, ceramics, composites, beryllium, or other exotic materials prohibited.
Minimum weight requirements have been developed for the following engine components:

Piston - 460 grams
Wrist pin - 135 grams
Connecting rod - 480 grams
Intake valve - 90 grams
Exhaust valve - 80 grams

Material for intake and exhaust pushrod, and valve spring are limited to steel. All other materials prohibited. Roller bearings limited to cam bearings, cam thrust bearings, lifters, and rocker arm fulcrum and valve spring tip. Conventional sleeve rod and main bearing mandatory."

oil pans are nothing. the interesting places that certain pro stock teams have hidden nitrous is in the 2nd battery.thats my fav. a fire supression system spraying into the carb. a nitrous source in the bracing in the bottom of the hood. and a team got caught with the side end tank of the radiator closed off and used as a container. 9out of 10 times it wont be hidden in a bottle yet another source that could easily be discharged without people finding out.
