So is nitrous dead in Pro Mod? (1 Viewer)

They tried that in the late 90's and early 00's on the Super Chevy Series. They were called Nitro Coupes and supposed to be limited to a very low percentage but some guys pushed the limits a bit trying to be the first door car in the 5's. Bill Kuhlman came close at Columbus going 6.000. But the fires were worse than nitro funny cars..

ADRL in 2009 had a injected nitro car run a few races, damage on right side of car was from a fire

I think this is the car that was limited to 50%.

That Kuhlmann fire is scary to watch. I’m not an expert by any means in fire and rescue but I believe safety teams’ priority is meant to be dowsing the area with the driver first? They seemed really underprepared for a fire of that intensity.

Wow, great article. I would LOVE to see a 3.50 in nitrous P/M.
