Anyone coming down 75 want to swoop me in Kentucky? haha

is it mandatory to have a passenger seat in the car. was going to order one from summit but they want more for shipping and oversize than the seat cost. found it it is mandatory.

What class are you asking about the seat.

Anyone coming down 75 want to swoop me in Kentucky? haha

we are coming past lexington about 5am friday.

Also Looking for a guarantee Nitrous refill at Atlanta.

Charlie, what kind of bottle are you running? I may be able to snag a couple extras for you to borrow this weekend. Quarter turn valves? You need a mother bottle in your trailer bad!

well I got 2 problems, getting nitrous in cincy is like a freaking joke, the one place that will fill a mother bottle for me, wants to vacuum out whatever is left in the mother bottle and charge me another full refill of 60lbs, well we can only get 42 lbs out of it, so its costing like 7 a lb, which sucks.

then the other place that i can get it from wants me to rent their bottles only, cause they will only fill their style bottles and valves assembles, and to rent their bottle for a year, and on top of the nitrous, I would have to use 250lbs worth of nitrous a year to get the price under 5 a pound.....


so like what the hell do I do. Hear all these stories of everyone paying super cheap, well I cant find it!

i was dealing with same thing i just turned my mother bottle back in as it was more of a hassle than it was worth. we have another guy who can fill the bottles for about same price as what i was filling them for and no hassle or BS from gas company.

It used to be a lot easier to get nitrous. I keep whatever I can get or I wouldnt have enough to race on either, its rediculous these days

Have you tried Earls Indy? I paid around 42 bucks to fill up a 10lb bottle...

Of course thats been about 2 years ago, then i went turbo and havent checked since.

Seem to be some built 5th gens coming out for 5th gen and maybe True Street.... like 5-6.

true street

true street requires 2 front seats, check rules on nmca website.

Agreed, true street requires a pair of front seats per the rules.
Full rules here: www.nmcadigital.com/cat/rules_purses/docs/lsx/2l-2012-LSX-True-Street-Final.pdf (http://www.nmcadigital.com/cat/rules_purses/docs/lsx/2l-2012-LSX-True-Street-Final.pdf)

looks like I'm bringing down an LSX powered Lexus to run in rumble. We should have a turbo gto coming with us who also is running in rumble.

The Hell Camino, I have no idea what thats running in yet.

You could try calling Air Gas in Dayton. I am getting mother bottles for $2.14/lb with a $5/month bottle rental charge.

Does anyone know where they are going to park us at this year. Without the normal NMCA Group I hope they move us up closer to the staging lanes.

Parking will be Half way down the grandstands, we have an autocross and have moved the car show for this event. Plenty of room at Atlanta Dragway, but this event will have a big swapmeet, car corral and car show.

Hey Jeff how late can we get into the track on thursday?

Team Chitown checking in from I65.

serviced the Duramax last night, throwing the car in the trailer when I get home from work, couple hours sleep and rolling out about 3am.

Been a long wait for this race!
