Taking for granted that the categories ar run seperately - You need to know that there are various kinds of Nos - Dry, Wet, Direct port etc. etc. Obviously the more complicated the system the more expensive it is and therefore bigger the gains - So then what would you want the organisers to do ? Further subdivide ? - Not practical my friend.

I know it is frustrating. but we tend to look at events from our side and not from the organisers point of view. Trust me people they already have their hands full. Give them a break.


Or thats the fact becoz you cant classify the cars... NOS, TURBO, SUPERCHARGER, NOS + TURBO, NOS + SUPERCHARGER. Well Again dividing DRY NITROUS, WET and Direct port. Its going to be fun dividing these cars.

I can understand everyone is getting away with Nitrous since its the easy way of achieving instant nirvana. But even that is not easy... I am not to sure whether everyone uses DRY or WET here... Well It must be Dry since thats the easiest way out. Requires lesser tuning and work than WET and direct port.(Basic idea)

Turbo or Supercharging is what i am looking for coz those make a huge difference. Having s well tuned car using turbo @ 7 PSI can easily acheive 80Bhp(Roughly), while the max safe limit for a dry Nitrous is 75Bhp(approximation by experts). Turbo is constant and something entirely different from Nitrous.

But the question here is.... Is it fair, I would say it is fair. Running NOS, Turbo etc.. is not simple bolt on's. If you are serious about these, there need to be serious money and R&D goin into it to get the final fool proof product. U gotta respect them (cars). They are built to win.

Question : Am I in that catagory? Ofcourse not, I can even afford a Air filter change. Hahaha!!!

Its your choice to take part in a race and nobody forces you to do so. If u think ur car isnt competent enuff, stay out of it. Let the ones whoz ready do the job.

I am pretty sad to say all this coz, I get chance only to watch the race and not race the race. What can be done, nothing. Coz normally in drag the divisions are pretty less. So lets be ready to face anything when we are on the starting line. Tats the spirit, Rather than being sorry for urself for not being gud as the other one.

Hope my brother wont get me wrong, becoz the above is my feeling and my experience. No offence.
