Help Blake to walk again in 2010!
Hey guys,
Thanks for the responses. Sorry I am just now getting my way back to the forum. We have been slamed here at the shop.
For those asking you should have your alumimnum nitrous bottles recertified every 5 years and people with carbon fiber bottles should be every 2 years. I would suggest calling around your town to the local welding supply companies or fire alarm companies to see who does it.
Here in waco we have a company that recertified fire extenguishers and other types of bottles such as a nitrous bottle for about 35.00.
For those asking about an event. We are working on trying to figure it out. With the economy the way it is many tracks are struggling to keep there gates open right now and the thought of a night not making profits make them kringe which is understandable. We are trying to figure out a way of pulling this off that will work for everyone.

So awsome of you Dave for offering $50 off a new bottle for a donation to awalkwithblake. That is very cool thing for you guys to do to help out. I made my donation last week and have got my goodie bag already, i'll be ordering a new bottle next week. Not useing this 2nd hand bottle anymore, thats just to scary!! Way to go nitrous outlet. Wish I could attend the race when you get it all setup. Hope we all can help Blake get back on track.

My heart goes out to him. That really sucks, I lost the use of one of my legs for over a year, can't imagine losing it forever.
I always hate it when you watch a show like Pinks or something like that & they show people at the track using a torch, all that does is make newbies to the sport think that since they saw it on TV that it's OK. In 15 years of using nitrous I've never used a torch, 2 times I've had rupture discs go off while filling other peoples bottles, that's enough to scare the crap out of you.

My prayers will be with Blake. After reading this I just cringed thinking back when I first started racing and my friends and I used to heat bottles with a torch. Wow! We were so stupid, now that I have kids, reading this really hits home. Hang in there Blake, God will work this out!
Where is the date stamp on a 10lb NX bottle ? How can you tell by the date if it needs
