I don't know all the FD rules, but I know once the competition starts you can call a timeout for only a certain time to 'fix' something and if you do not get to the line you forfeit. So, simplifying the engine/car is key to staying competitive.

A blower (especially roots or twin screw) would definitely be the way to go for a road course car, tho'. To ram a car sideways, the shot actuator probably acts like a "slide" button.

That all makes sense. I just figured nitrous would be a little bit too volatile, but who am I to argue with a pro drifter and his race team.
