I was actually hoping you were able to make it this time.....with your lightweight jockey.....we will have a little ole stock bore in a heavy ds chassis we were hoping to compare to that beast of yours.

Well with the new frame, the weight diff with me on it should be like Brent on my stocker. So we can run them when I get it together.

This one will be no different than the rest.....nothing less than spectacular.
I've been getting phone calls from folks coming in from all over the country.
We will try our best to run the schedule that is posted on the first page.
There are too many people driving in from very far away to try and run a fastest 4-stroke/fastest 2-stroke race format.
It will be a blast. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

This event is picking up a lot of steam.
Just a few updates.....
This event will be aired on 3 of the local major radio stations.
The win lights have been ordered. So lets cross our fingers that they will arrive in time.
Of course, we are looking for another record crowd.
Hope you have made plans because the local motels are already booked.
If you need help finding other accomodations just let me know.
This will be a huge turnout with a lot of money on the line.

I would like to know the names of these additives that oxygenate highly.......enough to make a difference......that are hard to get (regulated) and produce no smell.
The additives i have seen:
Propelyne (I don't know anything about this additive except the name and that some have tried it)
Nitro Propane/koolanol (klotz)
Nitro Methane (Top Fuel.....does not mix well with gas)
Methanol (used as an additive to gas)
Fastforward (I don't know what is in this stuff)
Most oxygenated race gas (like U4) uses Nitropropane as the oxygenator.
The klotz NP/K is sworn to by some, others can't see a difference. Those who play it safe and always run a little rich, will see gains because it will lean them out a bit. Those who run on the edge won't see gains unless they add more fuel. The biggest benefit is the cooling effect of the koolanol. The one time I tried the stuff I saw a 1/4 bike improvement on about a 600' long hill series of runs......that was only after I added more fuel with the powerjets. Too much of a hassle to bother with for the gains.
Fastforward also has some diehard followers. I know some people who run this additive and they say in large quantities (30% or more) it helps by 2 lengths or so on the same hill. In those quantities it is very obvious in the exhaust. Running the recommended amount never showed marked improvement for the one group I know that uses the stuff.
Methanol is a slight improvement but only if you put the exact ratio in. Too much or too little will slow you down. The perfect ratio???? depends on the conditions of the day. Not user friendly when you only get 2 - 3 practice passes which are also qualifying passes.
Nitro Methane is regulated and is a terribly powerful additive. It has such a high oxygen count, they run this stuff up to 100% and the cylinders are nearly hydrolocked to keep from running lean!!!!! You can't mix it with Gas without horrendous hot spots that will remove portions of your head, piston or valves depending on its mood, lol. This stuff will burn your eyes at the line. No problem detecting this stuff!
Propolyne.......Never used it. I know nothing about it except it is a derivative of rubbing alcohol which indicates it is simply an oxygenator.........how potent? I don't know. Can you smell it? I don't know.
Nitro Propane like is used in U4. It mixes with gas and is an oxygenator. U4 uses very little, what happens if you use more? Can you smell it? Can you test for it? I don't know.
Ok, on to the interesting stuff[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
What are some of these powerful oxygenators that you cannot smell but make noticable E.T. differences?
