Are you ready for some... NITROOOO?!?!?!

Nitro is short for the most exotic fuel in motorsports... "Nitromethane." This expensive liquid ($30 per gallon) creates a lot excitement, and when used in a 526 cubic inch supercharged Chevrolet racing engine... it developes an incredible amount of explosive horsepower. You will love the sound and smell of the Aeromotive Nitro Coupe Challenge.

New for 2008 - the Aeromotive Nitro Coupes will run the 1/8 mile!

Over 10 years ago when Super Chevy Show owner and NHRA & International Drag Racing Hall of famer Roger Gustin wanted to improve the Professional Show, he met with two of the best "show" promoters in drag racing, Bill Bader and Duane Nichols for advise.

After discussing all of the feature type race cars avaliable, Gustin was asked, "What would you want to use?" His reply, "Supercharged Pro-Mods on Nitro." Hence the idea of the Aeromotive Nitro Coupe Challenge was born. The next step was to convince NHRA's competition committee that these short wheelbase door cars could be safe. Roger and his brothers, Phil and Bill Gustin soon developed the rules for Aeromotive Nitro Coupes and began negotiations with NHRA to approve this new exhibition class.

The next challenge was to find the racers who were willing to take the risk of building a Nitro burning Pro-Mod with no combination to work with. And it did not come easy for anyone.The first to accept this challenge was the rebels and mavericks who were the early Superstars of the Aeromotive Nitro Coupe Class, Jim Oddy-Frehahn, Bill Kuhlman, Dave Graytek, and Jeff Brozovich, many more would follow. As time moved on names like John Scialpi, Dan Nickelson, Rob and Randy Adler, Tommy Howes, Mike Swinarski, Bruce Boland, Mel Eaves, and Wayne Torkelson won races and championships.

One of the reasons that Aeromotive Nitro Coupes have proved to be so popular is the fact that they almost all use different type bodies and they look like real cars. However they produce low 4 second 1/8 mile ETs at over 200 mph.

Aeromotive Nitro Coupes are exclusive to the Super Chevy Show. and with 300 mph jet cars, and wheelstanders the fans always enjoy the fun and excitement....."Are you ready for some Nitro?"
