Trouble is there isn't a road going class for cars with gas. where does it say "no nitrous" it only states a class where nitrous is permitted, nowhere does it say it is not allowed. |

This is the problem with rules, especially in motorsport. As gas is specifically allowed in a class it implies it's not in the others, but it doesn't say that. Personally, I'd rather it was not used in the roadgoing classes, it takes something away from the cars for me. Anyone can make a car go fast on gas, and all the classes would end up being the same.

If people want to run nitrous I don't see a problem but for me class d is about road tyres and turbo no nitrous. I'll be waiting for mitp to run the slicks again. |

So what you are saying is that you are scared of being beaten by an N/A car fitted with Nitrous? What about superchargers.thats not a turbo. I doubt there are many road going minis with NA engines and 100 shot of nitrous. Fast Carl hit the nail on the head. the class should be 'Power Adders' which means turbo, or, supercharger, or, nitrous, and only one of either allowed. What gets me is the current claases say that a road going car fitted with nitrous has to enter in the Race classes along with all those super light high powered purpose built machines, that have no chance of passing an MOT or sitting in traffic on the hottest day of the year! What makes a road car fitted with a road legal and insured Nitrous system, a race car??????!!!!!......... On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
