Got Nitro?

Will we see racing like this in August?

Got Nitro?
That apparently is what NHRA teams may be asking later this summer.
If published reports are accurate, NHRA may face a nitromethane shortage due to the XXIX Olympics in Beijing, China. China is the lead importer for the fuel, and there will be no deliveries during the Games, scheduled Aug. 8-24, thus creating the shortage.
NHRA is already preparing for a possible shortage, asking for a limit on Monday testing after national events and for the fuel teams to warm up their engines with alcohol fuel.
This should be interesting as the series schedule calls for three events during the month, including the U.S. Nationals near Indianapolis.
Stay tuned
