Here in northern missouri we are trying to sanction some of our pulls all around here so we can have them organized and to keep them competitive. We have a group of people that think nitrous should be ran in every class. I am against this and so is allot of us around here. I was just wondering what others input is so that we can get this done the best way thanks guys.:ro)

I say no to nitrous in any class, with maybe an exception for the crazy class. It's a no, no in the street stock, and work stock for sure.

i like watching nitrous ran during pulls... sometimes it makes great booms and sounds and is fun to watch

Im thinking 3 classes work stock the motor mods class then all out class...

Nitrous in the street class is JUST STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cool:

OK, here's why you're not going to allow nitrous:

Any doggone kid can go get a bottle kit for, say $600 or less. They then go get a big tuner, say $400-$700. They now have the potential to make 500-600 HP. Way too much for any off-the-lot truck with no mods.

Knowing most young guys that would try such a stupid thing, and the nature of competition, someone will most certainly frag a motor, clutch, drivetrain, etc. And almost for sure, they will not have one ounce of safety equipment. And then you will have parts flying around. Your insurance company will love that. Game over.

Or, you could look at it this way: go ahead and run the bottle. But, here's the requirements:

1) SFI-4.1 bellhousing blankets;
2) 2 U-joint shields per shaft, 6" long, 1/4" thick steel, no larger than 2" gap all around;
3) Rear driveshaft loop in the center of the rear shaft, same spec as above;
4) solid steel inner fender liners
5) air or fuel shutoff on the rear of the truck operable from the sled;
6) fuel shutoff in the cab for mechanically-pumped engines;
7) axle cap shields, 0.060" thick steel;
8) Helmet and fire extinguisher.
9) Signed, notarized affidavit certifying no cast iron components in the clutch.
10) tie rod sleeves and straps for Duramaxes.

If they wanna do all that, then let 'em run the nitrous, and stand back. Way back.

IMHO nitrous is for people who really aren't serious about pulling and just want a cheap way to go fast. The guys who do this stuff are not the guys that will take you anywhere as an organization, and I'll bet you can do without them.

There's a reason most reputable pulling organizations don't allow it: safety.

Cant agree with you more.

Look at the Major Sanctions see what they go by then make some adjustments from there i would say.

Yep, I'd start with DHRA rules. A lot of organizations around here use the exact same verbiage.

I couldn't agree more (even though i have n20, dont use it for pulling though and it will come off my truck this winter).

I have to agree with you on this. I believe nitrous should not be allowed except in unlimited class with proper safety equipment. These dang trucks make alot of power as is let alone some guys running 3 stages of nitrous (over 300hp worth) on stock motors. They are cool to watch dont get me wrong but not safe IMHO.

I dont agree with all of the dhra rules either their should be a happy medium.

Every One Else Gos By Them Why Cant We?

Well, in general they are very good. DHRA will be adjusting their rules for '07 based on a few folks taking things to the very limits of the rules. There is now too big a gap between some of the "street" trucks and they're trying to get some limits in place to keep things more evenhanded. The other classes seem fairly well rounded.

If you don't have this issue, then don't fret it.

No one said nothing about running nitrous in every class but some people didn't make it to the meeting to hear that i guess! And as far as having nitrous on your truck and not using it at pulls have it on video if you would like to see it and it says different.

Yea except at pllatte city fair where were your guys trucks at...couldnt even pull with rhalls truck and pretty sure i had enough people i talk to every day at that meeting so what are you going to say now. if you want to carry this on any further you can call me or we can discuss it at the next pull.

I don't now what guys you are talking about i didn't pull in platte city. And Troy was'nt there his cousin pulled his truck just to do it not for money just for fun.I agree we do need to get together because no one said nothing about having nitrous in every class like Rob said. That was the hole reason for the meeting for us all to sit down and talk about rules and try to get this going. I 'll be the first to admit that i can't pull with you all , but I'm there to have a good time and that is what it should be about. And as far as safety equipment every truck should have it.

we agree but from what ive heard all of the arguing at the meeting last time was about nitrous..

have U ever done that yet buddy hahahaha:lol:

yea lol its cool

I never said anything about nitrous in every class. The reason i wasn't at the meeting is cause im working out of town, and don't make it back til late thrusday or early friday.

Sorry Rob i meant Ryan my fault. He stated that everyone here was wanting to run nitrous in every class and that's incorrect. I just think the whole thing is getting out of hand. I think it is alittle ironnic how a few people are getting picked out of the crowd when there is alot of people running it. I'm not pointing know body out but like i said every pull for the most part is on tape. Just like louisburg they would'nt let Troy run but the old boy that put it on had water meth. I don't want to sound like and a## but it's not right we don't have nothing to hide nor have we ever. We are there to have a good time like everyone else.

Ok and why are you pointing out others trucks how about your own...

Ill admit i ran it twice, i just think if the rules are you shouldn't run it then everyone should follow them. Im not accusing anyone of anything but in mclouth 2 really stood out more than anyone elses, but once again i don't know everything and could be mistaken.

Ryan that is my point i have'nt seen on person point there finger other than at troy , and is that because he's winning every weekend that's what i don't understand? I have it on mine but i never claimed that i did'nt, but now one has pointed there finger at me because i'm behind the pack. Me and troy have sat down and talked about this and i guess to make a long story short we just don't understand. Look at platte city some one comes from out of town and takes our money and why because the sponsers don't want nitrous. Why because the don't understand it or because and i quote" IT'S CHEAP HORSE POWER" . If it's a money thing than how is that any fun. The way we look at it and this is coming from drag racing experience and not some much pulling but if you have a aftermarket turbo thats considered a power additive just like nitrous. So why is one allowed and not the other?

ok well no one has a problem with troy at all you guys all jump on and get mad at us because we have a problem with midwest diesel and you know who else. Dhra rules have no nitrous were just thinkin it should be the same every where. And when built right, if you look across this website you will see that a duramax can handle its own and even win on #2.

Ryan no one is saying anyones mad at nobody and as far as midwest diesel if there's a problem there thats none of my buisness. I now a duramax can produce enough power without , but some of us use our trucks to work also. Like hauling 20k or 30k and sometimes 40k and if you have a charger that makes 40 or 50 psi your going to drive right threw the convertor with that kind of weight behind you. For now its nice because we are able to use them to work threw the week and play on there weekends. And I now what the dhra rules are but nothings etched in stone look at the twin cp3 rule.

ok then so why are you jumping on my case then im was just asking for peolpes info on here to bring to the next meeting to help get this done, i didnt say your name when i said a certain group of people. To tell you the truth we are building a truck this winter and going all out internals ect. Its going to be # 2 only like most big pulling trucks on here but thats just what im wanting to build. Thanks Ryan

Ryan no ones jumping your case you just stated a group of people around here wants to run nitrous in every class and thats incorrect. Alot of people have been committing about it and i just wanted them to now that no one said nothing about it in ever class. Because i was one of the people in the group at the meeting. Thats cool building another truck this winter. Just as soon as the new body style hd come out i'm doing the same i just need to use my truck for work now.

:blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah: Thats all i hear out of both of you.:lol: :joke:
