Rule book now says no nitrous.

Back during the mid '70's (I'm getting to old) bottles were hidden on a few cars. They didn't make near the HP they do today. "Snake" brought it out in the open and had a bottle mounted on the cage of his Monza FC. I remember the photos but not how it was plumbed in.

Because of the difficulties hooking those cars I agree it would be a waste on a fuel motor. Also a ban from competition is out there,

...unless maybe you squirt it in down track...maybe controlled by the clutch timer...or that new MSD box NHRA may soon allow...maybe about 1/2 track or 1000ft for a top end charge...wouldn't need a big bottle for such a short shot...even pressurize a section of the frame rail...could back down on the tune-up to hook-up and save the big bang...Nope, will never happen
