Soup up trick.
1/2 cup nitro in the pan is worth about .04or 03. One cup blows the rods out the side. You know when you passed the line is when you can reach in at the end of the track and pull out a piston. Just a thought before Indy.

Re: Soup up trick.
.03 to .04 pick up is only if you use the cheep stuff nitro, it has yellow die in it. The clear nitro (faster) is the way to go, its Indy, spend the extra $$$$. It's a bracket racer dream: " Go fast or go home".

Re: Soup up trick.
James is right. I was told several years ago, at Indy, that Buster shut off two SS/AA hemi cars on the starting line for a nitro smell in the early 1980's.

Re: Soup up trick.
I would be afraid to try that. Besides, it is cheating. A guy doing that would not have actually won anything anyway. Just screwed some people.

Re: Soup up trick.
Amazing how a couple of posts can suck the fun right out of a thread....Ed, this was supposed to be "tongue in cheek"! Notice the winking smiley face on Jeff's first post?
