I believe the Surfers secret was Toluene/Nitro to make it live. I usually have mine mixed a day or two before a race to let the endothermic reaction settle down and then check it. I put my jugs in the sun and will maybe check it for peace of mind. I rarely change a pill on a weekend race, occasionally add or takeaway a couple of degrees timing. Usually the weather/temp don’t change enough to warrant a pill change with nitro, now the driver is a different thing...very unpredictable.

I think those guys had lots of secrets.  They ran very small nozzles and very high fuel pressure.  If you haven't seen it, there's an excellent series on the web about them.  One of the last interviews Tom Jobe did.  He gives a great analogy to the concept of burning the fuel vs. exploding it.  The story about hauling their 55 gal. drums of nitro in a VW beetle is funny as xxxx.

Finnish Fireball:
Yessir that Surfers series is a must to see for any drag racing fan!

THE FRENCHTOWN FLYER:
Just do a search on youtube for "THE Surfers". Don't just search "surfers" or you'll get a lot of irrelevant videos of guys in water and bikini clad girls.
... unless, of course, you like - OH never mind...

Although regulatory genes that control cell type specification are identified, the transcriptional circuit and the cross talk among regulatory factors during cell fate decisions remain poorly understood <a href=http://cialis.lat/discover-the-best-prices-for-cialis>cialis online pharmacy</a> A recent RCT of sertraline in symptom- onset dosing suggested greater improvement with sertraline compared to placebo, but results were inconsistent and varied with the symptom scale
