Spray on the sledpulling track YES or NO

Spray on the sledpulling track YES or NO

  • Total voters
    215
I would like to see the ones that voted yes! Im willing to bet that 75% of the ones that voted yes, have never sled pulled!
 
I just looked at who has voted for what. It is funny that many of the Yes' are people who don't pull.
 
You guys are blowing this out of proportion. You are calling all nitrous user's idiots,losers do I keep going. I guess the guys with brains there know there nitrous should just stay home with there 9,10,11 sec diesels. Its not worth our time to come out and help the diesel world. I just love the kids I talk to that are like are you running propane on that truck, you say nitrous and they say you cant run nitrous on a diesel.
 
all you do is use the nitrous and then when done turn the bottle off. and later when there inspecting the truck all they do is ask you if you used it and all you do is say no and your home free. I dont use nitrous but thats how easy it is to get by with it around north texas. so really the whole insurance thing doesnt even come into play if they cant even prove you used it or not.:bang
 
Spray in drag racing is fine. Each bracket is a time bracket. Get there anyway you can.

In sled pulling, it is a horsepower bracket. The way you limit horsepower is by limiting the air, i.e. turbo sizing.

So, if you want to allow spray in a sled pulling event, the rules should limit the turbo and jet size along with how many stages. This again, would limit the amount of horsepower, but just raise it up a level.

I don't feel there is anything wrong with spray. I personally perfer my truck to be on #2 simply because it is always there. But then again, on the track which is what we are discussing, you fill your bottles and then lined up. Whether for a 1/4 or 300 feet, you will have it when you need it. Setup is different but if that is what you want to do, so be it.

But the rules need to be different for sled pulling if alternative fuels and/or spray are allows to equalize the horsepower for each bracket.

how the **** do you know who pulls and who doesnt do you know everyone?

Relax. If you look at the list of who voted for what, you will see that many are well known individuals recognized for their drag racing vehicles. Not sled pulling. Certainly some are sled pullers, but many are not.
 
and no of course he doesnt know everybody. I sled pull and am all for using nitrous. I dont have nitrous on my pulling truck but have an open mind about it and say why the hell not. of course all of the pulls around me are kinda run what ya brung and have fun events and i can completely understand how it would make having rules on charger size and other limitations pointless and would really screw everthing up. But in the end its just a sport that is all fun and games in which the pont is to pull it the farthest so who cares. :Cheer:

So. You are saying the racers that voted for nitrous, are not even smart enough to know the poll was for sled pullers???

I rest my case!!!!:cheer::cheer:
 
I have yet top be to a pull, and I go to alot and pull alot where they ask did you use that bottle? If the bottle is even in the truck you are disqualified, if the lines are hooked up but there's no bottle you are disqualified.

Do you want people who don't participate make the rules for thoses that do? :shake:
 
This whole thread is brandons fault....damn this guy...lol jk the ohio boys know how to stir the ****.
 
I have heard from a few drag racers that they use nitrous to eliminate any lag their turbos may have. I rode in John P. JR's 3rd gen with twins and he was running something small like a 45 or 55 horse shot and it was nuts almost like it was a automatic instead of a 6 speed. But for a puller, i mash the go pedal, slip the clutch till boost comes up to atleast 35 lbs and dump the rest of it. We dont shift so that theory dosent seem like it will help pullers. I could see a Ford 7.3 being allitle more competitive with nos but i doubt any cummins will or need to run nos. I know TS is a outlaw event, but it should not be classed by turbo size if nos is allowed. You could possibly have 2.6 or 2.8 trucks with more hp than the 3.0 so might as well let everbody pull in one class like a brush pull. I know TS loves it nos, but as pullers, it has never really been allowed as a whole and i think it should still be that way myself.
But i guess we need to crank up the old cummins and show them where thay can put there nos.LOL Tim

Followed by a jet of liquid nitrogen. That ought to cool off the intake charge.

I don't claim to know a ton about n20. The point of my comment was when you allow gases to be injected, you will have to come up with a creative way to inspect and regulate the injected gasses whether they be nitrous oxide, pure oxygen, or some other power enhancer oxidizer, fuel, or both.

If I were you, I wouldn't claim to know ANYTHING about it because it's obvious you don't!!LOL:kick:


This is a perfect example of why the use of nitrous on diesels is so misunderstood:bang Comments from a bunch of people who don't know thier ass from a whole in the ground when it comes to the "principle" or "theory" of it's use:confused: Those false and misleading comments then become "fact" for a bunch of other numbsculls who don't know any better anyway:doh:

To illustrate, I'll reference one of your previous posts.

intelligent people will figure out how to double the feed pressure and put the lines at risk of bursting just to get that little advantage.

Nitrous works/flows at an optimum pressure of 950-1000 psi. Pressures both OVER AND UNDER this range extremely degrade and/or compromise it's performance. And please let me know when you decide to inject pure oxygen into your engine so I can make sure I'm at least 3-4 states away!! :eek:

By the way, the understanding of these theory's is no different than understanding the theory's of compression ignition and turbocharging which you all seem to think is "real diesel power" yet only a very small percent even have a vague clue about:poke: Buying X turbo and Y injectors from Z vendor DOES NOT mean you have a clue how/why they work:kick:

I'm not a puller, why can't there be a nitros class by itself. Thanks Steve B.
