Snowball Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 In Mader's defense, he has won all over the country including the Snowball Derby. I like Casey, Dave, and Augie! I'm sure in time all of this will blow over, and these 3 will have plenty of great races between them. It was a great race Friday night with an unfortunate ending.

HORSEPOWER Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Looks like ole "never has been" has fast time. Seriously, in time I hope Casey will come to realize that sort of off-track activity and childish public statements about his fellow competitors are counter-productive to what he wants to accomplish. got to realize a lot of this stuff happens in the heat of the moment, Casey was pissed and just probably wanted to give him a piece of his mind, but he got shoved from the back by one of Mader's crew and then it was on, and bet all this crap was said after the that occurred. Someone would have been arrested if I was in the pits. Has there been more times that Casey has been out spoken or is this the only time? Think this happened right in front of Young's and Bendele's crews, but couldn't see what was going on, but it got separated fast. At tech, 2 home town guys went at it also, think that one was a lot worse and were arrested, maybe they are related, "all in the family". Â Remember at I-70 a few years back, Dave Mader set a track record at the World Cup. I was like that's so cool and happy for him, because he was from the South, vs the North. They found something illegal in the fuel, then that ticked me off. Makes me wonder how many drivers from the past that won all the time and were considered great, got away with a lot more crap, not saying he cheated for his great accomplishments, but I know there had to have been several others that just knew how it was done and I cheered for them, it's just a little harder to get away with things now, way to go tech guys....

SASPEEDRACER24 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Wouldnt doubt what they could of found was nitropropane... Good article on that stuff in Late Model Racers last issue... 1 quart to every 5 gallons when full gave a 500 hp motor an extra 40... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProTree Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Marc,thats some old school stuff too.I know guys that were using it in the late 80's and early 90's cause I sold it.I paid $45 a gallon for it from Klotz.Just had to increase jet sizes with it..Also had other forms of liquid oxygen.

SASPEEDRACER24 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I figured you would know all about that stuff... Imagine it would come in handy come pink slip time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProTree Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 yep.before nitropropane,in the south,some were using mothballs.They had some potent chemicals in them and a bag in the tank would give some gas a kick in the butt back in the day.The gentleman that introduced me to that process used to whip on everybody in 2 lane blacktop racing back home on the country roads.

SASPEEDRACER24 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 wonder how many .10ths that would equate to on a track like I70 or SAS with a SLM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProTree Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hard to say Marc.It's really not good for long duration motors because of the heat build up.Good for drag racing.It's tricky stuff to figure out and the rule of thumb is on the jetting to go "1 jet per 1 percent of NP". So figure if you are running 70 jets and add 10%,you need to go to 80's all around or you'll lean it and blow it.NP is a "pro detonate",when it's lean it explodes instead of detonating.Alot of racers from the younger generation come to me and tell me they just purchased some of this n2o in a can and are going to try it and when I tell them what they need to do and what will happen if they dont,I get the deer in the headlites look,but one of their friends will tell them to just pour it in and guess what,KABOOM.If tech guys at a circle track pull bowls off carbs and look at jet sizes and notice alot of cars have similar sizes within a few numbers and then you have a few cars with jet #'s way off the charts,I'd probably suspect something.

Vir Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I really felt bad for Casey Friday night at FFs. To me it just looked like one of those racing things. If not for the late caution, Casey would have run away with it. The caution allowed Grill and Mader to get new tires. The incident looked to me like the way Snowball described it. Then of course we sit next to each other at FFs. Casey's Dad was spotting from right behind our seats, and he became visibly upset by the incident. We were both rooting for Casey at the time.
