Hi,
It looks like two extra "fuel supply/injectors" nozzles that are controlled by a solenids. Looks like he needs more fuel than the regular injectors can supply.

Gary...you are right. He had three tapped into the fuel rail controlled by solenoids. He said it mists the fuel better than bigger injectors. He said he wanted a vapor going in there. It appeared to have worked, the car ran like a bat out of he11! I think he lost to the electric blue T in one of the rounds, but that was the only car that he ran that got past him.

That's Bill S's (I'd murder the spelling of his last name if I try to spell it) from Champions car. Stage 1 block with stock crank and rods. The car wasn't running as well as it has in the past. Bill said he was having ignition problems with it. I think he ran 2 rounds of qualifying on Sunday but opted not to run in eliminations. He's got alot of good ideas and thinking into that car.

I didn't line up against him in qualifying.

The best thing about Bill's car is it never breaks (at least I've never seen or heard of it breaking) and it's always very consistent.... Last year at the Bradenton event I think he ran in the 9.40's @144-146mph range, but I do remember seeing him make at least a 9.60 pass and with a lazy 60'.... What's also interesting is he has the first casting of the GN1's on his car matter of fact I think he told us that it was the first set of GN1's that they made!!!
He's a very smart guy that is nice enough to share his experience/knowledge about these cars
