I mean, there needs to be an outside source of gas, be it air or nitrogen or whatever, to energize the system. Correct...?

Perhaps we can throw some racing logic into the picture and you'll be able to answer the Q.... - Rally_nutcase_1982 2008-06-27 13:49:18 (98 views)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the "plug-in" for the air line at the back of the car? - snoogins 2008-06-27 12:28:39 (94 views)

Well, now I'm confused with your question. Pit dude comes over the wall with an "air" hose - jbchinoca 2008-06-27 13:00:05 (88 views)

That's what I mean by "outside source" of air... - snoogins 2008-06-27 13:11:19 (75 views)

Yes. Outside source. No series will allow any pressurizes tanks (safety risk) on board a car. - Mike S 2008-06-28 08:03:39 (65 views)

I have seen that option on the Mach 5....he gets mad hang time too. - Krisko 2008-06-30 20:32:05 (44 views)

If you mean "plugged in," to an air source, yes. The jacks themselves are mounted on the car. - jbchinoca 2008-06-27 12:13:32 (52 views)
