Actually for top fuelers it's not nitrous -- it's nitro methane.

Top Fuel = Nitro Methane + Blower

Nope, some top fuel dragsters use nitrous instead of blowers. If you watch, the blower cars have the advatnage at higher altitudes and in colder weather. The nitrous cars have the advantage in warmer weather and/or humidty climate. They both use nitromethane for gas.

I've read about that, in the article its all thoery it was supposed to be completed like a year ago, and the people they interviewed even sounded like moron's so I doubt it was completed. I also heard they were in dallas.
