Competition Nitrous Express Quest for the 6’s Dragster update.

[COMP461]

Here are pictures of some of the innovative parts going together for the NX quest for the 6’s Dragsters. First I want to welcome the core sponsors in this project.







Diesel Performance Research, Curtis Halvorson’s extreme cutting edge innovativeness, is not just in the in diesel performance venue, but spans everything from Indian motorcycle engines to Cadillac LeMans endurance engines and Chevy Indy car engine. Curtis worked at McLaren in engine development on the Cadillac LeMans program, as well as G. M. and Ford performance engine programs , and then he progressed to Roush as engine program manager for the Chevy ZL1 Ramjet, and ZZ 572 engines and Indian motorcycle engine, Curtis also spent time at Banks as race shop manager to include the type R and type D. I meet him during the early phases of the type D program where we conferred on the driveline and other aspects of drag racing the diesel. I remember how excited he was when he was on the way back from Bob Panella’s shop. I knew Bob and Bob Jr. from competition eliminator, and the lineage of that chassis as one of the lightest and most advanced Pro Stock truck ever built.





Industrial Injection will provide the turbo’s, pumps and injectors



Snow Boost cooler



GearVendors I have watched for the last 10 years as the PowergGlide / GearVendors became a staple in NHRA’s Top Dragster and Top Sportsman. I currently use a GearVendors on Project X diesel, and it holds up to full power shifts. I was sold on the GV when I watched as the winner of Drag week in a 3500 hp 2800 torque Camaro drove the entire route



ZZ Custom Fabrications



Polymer Dynamics, coatings and lubricants additives

Here is a picture of the car for those of you that haven’t seen it yet. It a Dave Uhara 288 inch ultra light car that Eddie Hill had built, its new and has never been down the track, it was much too light in construction at the time so it has been sitting at the NX research facility for all these years.





It’s kind of neat in that the front end is suspended by a cable. It’s a 3 piece bolt together car , and Charlie Stewart and myself have talked about back halving it to shorting it another 20 to 25 inches to work with the power level of 1300 hp it will see. #ad

We will probably lead off with a few divisional closes by. Later on a few National events. We are getting a lot of request for exhibition and match races. And a really fun one , possibly the Winter Nationals June 4th thru 7th at ANDRA’s Willowbank
