anyone see what was written on the bottom of the side doors of Strega's telemetry buggy? could this have anything to do with Tigers ease of overtaking?

Re: Real geek question and the possible key to stregas success?
I don't know if there was a "fix" in the bugs or just better stuff, If I recall I remember them having a V-12 Company come over and show them some stuff, I don't know how much they showed them or if a am just daydreaming,
This year they made sure they did it right and they took care of there stuff all week and it paid off with a bit of luck of course..Last edited by RRMERLIN7; 09-22-2008, 06:44 AM.W.Hughes

there was a sticker on the bottom of the Telemetry buggy door saying "Nitrous Oxide " don't know if anyone else noticed it I suspect it was a joke, but............just maybe...... not

Dont discount the Rousch Aviation backing, how many engineers does JR have on his payroll? Nitrous is a great way to blow a motor. My feeling is that he has access to high perf parts via JR, and he (JR) was spotted in the pits many times. And I am happy to see JR get involved, the sport needs all the big $$ backing it can get.

Maybe they're using N2O in small doses as an aftercooler. I noticed the Merlins are running intake tubes direct from the blower outlet to the inlet manifolds, with no intercooler brick along the way.

I've always heard that the V's don't like NO2 very much, in fact none of the hopped up race motors do, because manifold pressure is already so high. Even the Bear only uses it on occasion, I believe, like when she used to let the Stangs reel her in a bit, then she'd juice just a for a second and open up her lead again!

P.S. There are much cooler chemicals in the kit than Nitrous Oxide, but I'm glad to see that they are not so well known that everybody is throwing their names around. for the beginning of the mystery of that, you would have to go back to the "Better living through Chemistry" cartoon on Rare Bear at Hamilton 1988. But as I sit here snickering, that is really no more than a snipe hunt.Last edited by BellCobraIV; 09-23-2008, 07:27 AM.John Slack
