The rules for the 2014 Hot Rod Drag Week Heads Up Shootout featured a little blurb that basically read, "Cars that ran in an NA class during Drag Week, can't add a power adder for the shootout", even though in the next line they encouraged All the power adder guys to "Turn it up!"
That seemed unfair to me, and I had been quite vocal that heads-up to me meant run what you brung. Since my Valiant has a plate, I fully intended to use it! So, knowing I going to be outmatched in the second round I put the bottle in, and turned it on! There was a slight problem in that I had never used nitrous on this engine, and had never used it since I re-wired the car and moved the buttons around!

In the picture below, you can see me approaching the beams, while trying to find the nitrous button with my helmet on!
