Nitrous Oxide at Speedweek 2014

Well as plans to come over in 2014 continue a new question springs to mind will we be able to buy Nitrous on the salt or will we have to arrange something before we get there Thanks Phil LCR Salt Attack 2014

Don't think anyone supplies N20 on the salt, we always took our own big bottle to fill our little bottle.  I suspect you could get a bottle in SLC if you prearrange that.  Or get with someone here on the site that is planning on taking a big  bottle and work out refills.

In the days of yore Mike Manghelli would have a nitrous filling station at his pit/the White Goose Bar - to fill his team's bottles.  I asked with a smile and a please and he filled a bottle or two for me.  Don't count on it, though -- get in touch with him. 

Other than that -- I think Stainless is right.  A couple of years ago a nitrous vendor was on the salt for SpeedWeek and found business at his pit was quite underwhelming.  He hasn't been back, nor have I heard of anyone else having mother bottles (or any size) to fill bottles of hoi polloi.

Talk with Scott Horner - he has a shop in SLC and builds / tunes lots of Bonneville bikes. He will probably go to SW.  - Dean
