Nitro doesn't add power, it multiplies it! Bob Loux, running 10.07 secs @138mph on a 650 normally aspirated Triumph drag bike in 1965!

The blue Hagon framed Triumph again just setting off. Don't know if the photo shows it, but there's a 'mist' just in front of the engine, this is excess fuel vapour coming out of the supercharger's blow-off valve.

Wonderful photos as always Tony. Looks like a fun meet!
Mr Talon's an inspiration to those of us who whinge & say I'd have a go at that if only ... What a fantastic example of the human spirit.
Oh & that blown Vinnie in the first pic's simply beautiful.
