NITROUS SUPPLY TO
SPONSOR NMCA NORWALK
NATIONAL EVENT AND
‘PRO MOD LEGENDS’
■ Mike Thermos knows a thing or
two about helping to stimulate the
growth of a drag racing class. When
the now-popular Pro Mod category
was in its infancy, Thermos —then
heading up nitrous oxide pioneer
NOS—became Pro Mod’s biggest
cheerleader and helped make racers
like Bill Kuhlman, Scotty Cannon,
Robbie Vandergriff, “Animal
Jim” Feurer, Charles Carpenter and
others household names. From
those early days, the Pro Mod class
has grown beyond everyone’s wildest
expectations.
And now, some 30 years later,
many stars from Pro Mod’s halcyon
days will be on hand at Summit
Motorsports Park in Norwalk,
Ohio to take part in a special “Pro
Mod Legends” program as part of
the Nitrous Supply NMRA/NMCA
All-American Nationals.
Nitrous Supply, located in Huntington
Beach, California, is a manufacturer
of nitrous oxide systems
and components, and was founded
by Thermos in 2006 after his contractual
obligations to his former
company had ended.
After signing to take title rights
sponsorship to the event Thermos
said, “This will be drag racing’s
premiere showcase for nitrous oxide
racers. With no less than five
NMCA/NMRA categories permitting
nitrous, plus a gathering of Pro
Mod greats, it promises to be an
event like no other.”
Scheduled for August 27-30,
2020, the vast pit area at Summit
Motorsports Park will contain
nitrous-boosted cars running in
Xtreme Pro Mod, Xtreme Street,
Nitrous Pro Street, Street Outlaw
and Renegade classes.
“Sponsoring the Nitrous Supply
All-American Nationals is something
that was a natural,” Thermos
said. “Nitrous Supply has essentially
been ‘under the radar” for years,
quietly developing new components
and providing essential items
to other nitrous kit manufacturers.
But now we’re ready to step on the
gas and have some fun.”
The company has developed advanced
components for effectively
distributing nitrous oxide, like the
exclusive “Fang II” nozzle and highcapacity,
lightning-fast solenoids,
but also manufactures economical
kits for carbureted and EFI applications
that retail for under $400. For
additional information visit www.
NitrousSupply.com or call Mike and
his team at 714-373-1986. Nitrous
Supply is located at 15552 Producer
Lane, Huntington Beach, CA 92649
and offers N2O refills on site.
■ Strange Engineering has provided
superior braking components
for the aftermarket automotive industry
for decades. One of the key
components to any braking system
is the master cylinder. Strange offers
two different bore size master
cylinders that can be mounted either
on the firewall, like most OEM
configurations, or to the frame rail
via the side mounting holes that
are cast into the body. The Strange
dual inline master cylinder is ideal
for vehicles requiring four wheel
braking. The 1.032” bore master
cylinder (B3360) is recommended
for vehicles using OEM brakes, or, a
combination of 4 piston rear brakes
and single piston/two piston front
brakes. The 1.125” bore master cylinder
(B3359) will allow optimum
volume and pressure for vehicles
using 4 piston calipers on the
front and rear. Strange Engineering
offers adjustable proportioning
valves, residual valves, and pressure
test gauges to optimize your brake
system. #RaceStrange.
