Now that the last final race is set for October 7th in New Hampshire, everyone is scrambling to get some finishing touches done on their car so they can get faster times down the track. October is a good month for races, for turbo cars anyway, because the cool air allows a better air flow to the system, allowing the car to go faster anyway. Choo has a turbo car so he doesn't have much to work on. My sister's boyfriend, on the other hand, Mr. I-make-it-down-the-track-in-twelve-seconds-but-that's-still-not-good-enough-for-me-I-have-to-be-faster! has told me he is putting a "Sneaky-Pete" system in his car for that last race session. I know you're all like "What the hell is a sneaky pete?" because when he said that, that's exactly what I asked. It's a NOS system that gives the car an extra boost for a moment just to make it faster. Sneaky Pete: a sneaky shot of Nitrous. I saw the bottle for the Sneaky Pete system, it's the smallest thing he could easily hide under the seat and no one would even know it was there.
The button he is going to install to activate the nitrous is being put on his shifter, so he doesn't even have to move his hand too far to activate it, therefore he won't risk losing control of his baby. See?
I'm hoping by the time October 7th comes along, I will have figured out how to put video on here. I told him I would put his and Choo's cars on here for the world (or just my internet friends) to see.

I am by all means not an authority on racing...but unless racing for pinks (and even then) wouldn't a NOS system (hidden or otherwise) be a tad illegal. I mean does the car need 'auto steroides'??
I mean MY car can use and NOS system, but I am not racing it, except from the idiots inhabiting the roads around my city. But you can surely see how I might need it on the highways around here. However on a racetrack???
Steriods...good reference. That's exactly what it is actually...
Illegal? They don't consider it illegal unless there is money involved and you never said you were shooting, then that's cheating. But if two guys that are both shooting NOS agree that they will both shoot, then fine.
Sneaky Pete is a twenty-five shot of NOS (gives you 25 extra horses in that instant)and most people don't even consider that too much power. (People get 50 and 100 shots).
Down the track, all they care about is getting down the fastesty and making it in one piece, the other guy doesn't even really matter.
