But why would you lie after you have won the race already. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.
Not good sportsmanship. I would be willing to bet all the folks in here talking about run what ya brung, dont tell them what you got etc etc are the street racers, because #1 Most bets occur on the street #2 You are more likely to get hustle there. The two main reasons I race at the track and more importantly, the road course. Bring that POS nos bottle to the road course and see where it gets you.

I have no problem with someone using nitrous as long as they are honest about it.
Nitrous is good for a quick drag but would never last for a long run unless you had some pretty big tanks.
I personally would not use nitrous because I think it shortens the life of the motor substantially given the research and threads I have read about nitrous motors.

I guess my point is that the POS is the mindset that wants to bet a bunch of money to hutsle people and have elaborate street racing guilds but refuse to even consider a track. May have come out the wrong way, though I still hate nitrous.

Doesnt matter even if it's a drag strip they wont go. So to me their car is a POS, their motor is a POS, their bottle is a POS, also applies for turbos and S/C.

it's not cheating... if you wanna lie about it and can get away with it... 
unless your racing friends for fun... i just assume the other guy is being less than honest. So why give him the edge?
Sorry, personal experiance says the street is fair game for sand bagging... i've had my fair share of experiances...
stock w/ CAI my a$$.
but this is obviously taking place at a track right? so in that case.. same rules apply
