Competition Nitrous the "right" way....

[Hohn]

I love diesel fuel, too.

It just so happens I can burn more of it with nitrous, so I want to explore the possibility of using it. See? Diesel heads use nitrous

Gene:



I would say you have done pretty darn good with just good old #2 diesel in your truck! IMO,..... your record(s) of wins and championships speak for themselves too Gene! Heck, why change something when it is working good for you.



Take care.

except in this case it is much less expensive , and this is the first week, . but when its really starts to get rolling is when you will cry to the modarators , I'm surprised they havent pulled this thread .

Seeing as how you have broken the "no cheerleading" rule in virtually every post you have palced in this thread, so am I. I find it quite amusing that you took what was once a legitamite question that HOHN had, and turnd this into an infomercial (well, you and Mike). I wonder how may kits they would have sold last week if you were not the mouthpiece? While you are at it, why dont you post some more prices and "group buys" I think you need to make a mockery of the rules of the forum a little more, Since no one obviously cares that you are diong so.

With that train of thought, you will be bolting on spark plugs, coil, a distributor and alcohol and claiming it is advancing the sport.



I have nothing but respect for TS and Garmon, but in the eyes of a true Diesel head purist, they took a shortcut to go fast and put big numbers down.



That doesn't mean I won't be cheering them on as they continue to set records.

But if someone were to get it front of them with no bottle... ... . Oo. I love Diesel fuel, I can't help it.

:-{} Jeff was going fast before he ever touched a nitrous bottle. Shortcut Gene? Come-on.



If your class of sledpulling changed their rules to allow N2O and all of a sudden you found yourself 200hp underpowered, what would you do? Either run it or be happy with losing or drop classes.



The advancement of the sport is dropping ET's and picking up MPH utilizing the rules provided.

It is totally accepted in drag racing, I'm not trying to change that. Dennis and Jeff will just have to live with me looking down on them as they are cashing checks, polishing trophys. lol. :-laf

Just like Barry Bonds and steroids-he set the homerun record, but its kind of tainted, isn't it? But everyone is doing it!!!



I would quit, or step it up on turbos and water or intercooling, if they allowed nitrous in Diesel pulling. Keep in mind, when we were running exhibiton, 2000-01, the Fords were running propane, alcohol, nitrous, anything they could stick in them, including spraying Diesel fuel in their intakes.



#2 prevailed, as they were picking parts off the track.



Ask around, I don't change my mind once it gets set-especially when I'm right.

Gene... ... ... ... one more thing. Let's just say if, if, the EPA came in and said "boys, the trucks you got here pulling this wagon is just going to have to stop smoking/ polluting the air like you do. Heck, that truck with that fellow named Curt, you can't even see the truck when he stops, for all the black smoke. Y'all know we have the power to stop you from pulling that wagon, now don't you? Clean it up are stop, boys. " And Gene says, go to hell, I'll just quit. Yeah, for sure.



Why not get a jump on them before it gets to that. That why I'm not opposed to the spray in racing. I didn't like it either when it started. Jeff was as die hard as you've ever seen. The writing is on the wall, and as intelligent a person as you are, I know you can read it. When Darren makes a run, you never know his time till about a minute after he's done. Gotta wait for the smoke to clear. I don't want to see any of our sport shutdown, but the goverment can and will if the mood hits just right.



No spark plugs, wires are anything else. They won't help. Just a way of cleaning up the after affects of a run.



And remember, Jeff did have a 9. 97 run on diesel in Houston 2 years ago. That's pretty quick even for you.

This thread is getting really close to being shut down. Take the banter to the banter forum and leave this thread for the technical information or it's going away.

Steve, I didn't see this coming when I posted my lead post. My Apologies.

Yes, look back and you'll see some edits.

Sleddy Sleddy..... Comparing what Barry Bonds has done tarnishing records and nitrous , is ridiculous . Blasting a smoke plume all the way down the track does not further our sport one bit . I've often wondered whats going to happen in the future with all the "political correctness" in the world with the amount of sut we put out. Are we going to wear out our welcome?

Besides drag racing is 60 ft. times . The bottle will always prevail on the launch. Plus you don't have to melt your torque convertor down at the line. Just have the sisters warmed up and hit the switch!

 

[JoshPeters]

Honestly guys, if you're talking about "cleaning up" our immage... . how about the pulling tractors? They gonna get shut down too? How about the Semi's that are ON THE ROAD putting out a ton of Soot? How about the ships you see going out to sea rolling some soot? Locomotives? Etc...



On a track they will have a very hard time regulating ANY sport like this. On the street, the Government/EPA can do their thing. IE: Emmisions testing, etc.



IF the Government was "so" worried, why don't they shut down Tire Smoking Competitions? They don't let you throw old tires on the bon-fire, but essentially that's what we/you are doing.



How about that 86 Honda you see driving down the road with a White/grey cloud of oil smoke so bad you wish it was soot so it smelled good?



Realistically, they can't stop ANYONE from doing what they want drag racing/sled pulling. It's private property. It's a contest.



Really, think about it. If they "come down" on these events like that, you may as well live in a Communist country. They'll be checking your gas dryer for "excessive emmsisions" next.



JMHO,

Josh

Hohn--did anyone answer your original question per your needs??? I don't want to go and reread everything---chris

 

[Sled Puller]

Using the bottle in pulling "to clean up" smoke is a lame excuse. It has nothing to do with smoke, and you guys know that. Name one competitor that has mentioned they would like to use nitrous to clean the smoke up. I doubt anyone has heard those words uttered.

However, how many after snorting, realized their smoke WAS cleaned up, and put more fuel to it?



The leaders in both sports have cleaned up the smoke pretty well, if you have watched closely. The lazy, billowing black clouds are long gone from the top 10 in pulling.



And yes, the government with a few votes could shut down all the motorsports, clean burn or not, at any given time. I don't know why a few of you seem surprised at that?

 

[HoleshotHolset]

We're always going to be compared to the "clean" burning gassers... it's a battle that isn't going to be easily won. We're already quieter and more efficient, but the visible soot has very negative connotations.



The uninformed tree huggers of the world see the smoke at a diesel race/pull and assume it is worse than 40+ cars going 3-wide through the turns at Daytona. All of the invisible pollutants going on at a gasser-powered race are astonishing... but since nobody can see it - they don't complain.

So so true.

I'm a tree hugger! kinda

Gene... ... ... . conservation with you is like trying to saddle an elephant. I guess it can be done but why waste the energy. they don't really need one.



And as to your statement that " these words have never been uttered". You been hanging with the pullers, not the racers.
