I think Jeff has proven that his Nitrous Pontiac can round robin and run like a bracket car, on a little radial tire.

I've been involved with enough heads up racing to know that ANY form of poweradder can and will blow the tires off without warning.

JMHO, Justin has the potential to make a lot more power than Lil Jack. Given the fact that both cars have to make it down the track on a given day, the race is a pick to me.

I agree with your post. I think Justin was referring to how many runs can be made back to back before the bottles have to be refilled. My guess is it's less than 3.

Absolutely, it happens to Langer from time to time.

I didn't include NA in the post because we were discussing a Turbo VS Nitrous car.

Nitrous is much more violent and therefor subject to upsetting the chassis, a turbo car by comparison is a smoother application of power-- in most cases. Get carried away with either and you get into trouble, but the same can be said about the upper end N/A car.
