Well, Yes he is known overhere in Europe, and famous for his Black "StreetWarrior"!!!

I've met Dave Mason at the Bug-In 32 and saw his Ride for the time in real then...sadly he damaged his motor while Racing!!!

That car is scary fast!

He was running and the Drag Day last month. I think he had a couple of issues in his first runs. I never got back to him to see if he got it sorted out.

One of the first to use nitrous was Mike Smith....back in the 70's......Dave Folts had a oval N2O car in one of the mags at that time too.....Marwin Miller is the key figure.....The Red Sled was running N2O too and the best looking Cal-lloker, Dave Perkins mid nine street sweeper used N2O too. I myself..............................yeah i got a helthy dose myself of N2O from my days at the local racetracks with no entry fees Grin

Gotta love that Mason car, a mean machine!

Me too is playing around with nitrous and this is my second season with the bottle in my car. First season was more a test season and I experienced problems due to electrical issues and a bad performing Optima Redtop battery. Last winter I mounted a separate fuel pump and a separate fuel line for the nitrous and a new Optima Bluetop battery and everything works well.

Frank, how much are you going to shoot?
