How NOT to run nitrous
yeah I know but still lol...I dunno. If I owned a track I would much rather have a tech there and possibly save someones life rather than not paying a tech to be there and one or more people dieing because of some idiot.

I dunno how many of you have seen nitrous lines and the fittings that go with it..but that was probably more like a 450-500 shot if not more. Opening up the bottle directly towards the air cleaner is just dumb.
If I were the track tech I would have let them do it. See, most everyone thinks that nitrous causes a car to blow up Fast and Furious style, but it won't. Nitrous alone will not blow up- all it basically does is add oxygen to the motor. And a virtually stock motor getting the equivilant of a 6 or 7 second drag car nitrous shot isn't really going to hurt anyone. The car did exactly what it should have- revved to the moon and then stopped.
I would have loved to see it though...

i did that with a lawn mower once hahahaha, got a little drunk and walked outside with a half full bottle, put a nosle on a line took off the air cleaner and sprayed away
revs went up the it stalled, then we started it back up and it ran perfect
