That's the first I've heard of needing a permit. :confused:

I'd say that they were full of it. I've been wrong before though.

I have heard about some states having laws that you could only have so much in the car at one time without a hazmat permit. Like you could only have a 10 lb bottle and not a 15 or 20 lb. Not sure on that just something I heard once.

Lots of states require you to have a permit to carry nitrous. Other states allow you to carry it w/o a permit if.....

1. The bottle is not connected to the car's system.
2. You are on your way to or from a race event.

Yes, its true in nj we need a permit all you have to do here is request it from the department of health and fill out questionaire,they send permit witch you have to renew,and keep your permit on file where you fill your bottle,and bring permit with you to track also. :yesnod: see you at the track, jersey.
