Hey Schwag,

Great show. I really enjoy it!

Hey, is it true you have a book coming out soon? I checked your website, BigSchwag.net, but didn't see any info yet.

Thanks man,
Brian

Couldn't tell if my last post went thru....

I love the show, Schwag... I was also wondering. I saw on another website that you had a book coming out soon. I checked your website, Bigschwag.net, but didn't see the info. Is it true you have a book coming out soon?

Thanks man, Rock On!
Brian

Pass Time is great. Ken and Brett do a fine job.

One suggestion: Show more of Page!

Just a stupid ? With NOS when the racer says 100,200,250shot. What does that relate to?

Just a Motor fan!

A lot of the positive posts in here have the suspicious feel of "show employee/friend" about them. 1-post history with wording straight out of the marketing copy.

Why is that whether it's on this board or another, anytime that something positive is posted, those who dislike the show are always certain it's an inside job? I love the show--and as for being a show employee/friend--I sure *wish* that were true.

(Why is it also that those who claim to hate a show can't seem to stop themselves from watching again and again or waste their time posting on the show's board?)

Not a stupid question at all. I'll give a simple answer a shot.

What it means is that they are adding a measured amount of nitrous oxide during the run that will increase their estimated horsepower by that amount--a "100 shot" would add approximately 100 horsepower, etc. So in an instance where a driver is reporting that his engine produces 500 horsepower and they're spraying a 100 shot of nitrous, the estimated horsepower would increase to 600 horsepower. If they say they have a 500 horsepower motor and are spraying two systems--one a 150 and a second one that's a 300--it all adds together for an estimated horsepower total of 950.

Racers who don't use nitrous may consider nitrous to be "cheap horsepower" or at best a shortcut. If you ask them whether they use nitrous, they'll likely give you either an annoyed look or a proud look and tell you that it's either "all motor" or "all throttle" (as in "all throttle, no bottle").

NOS actually stands for "Nitrous Oxide Systems", one brand of system on the market, but not the only one. Just an observation, when it comes to the nitrous oxide itself, the racers that I've always been around refer to it as "nitrous" or maybe "smack" or "juice", but never "NOS" like in a movie or two. (Though there are many subgroups in drag racing, and some of them may call the nitrous itself "NOS", but I've not heard it called it by racers that I know.)
