 I posted this question a couple weeks ago and I didn't have any takers or
 responses (other than a joking jibe from Fred Thomas).  The winner of the
 Grassroots Motorsports $1500 Challenge was a MG Midget with Nitrous.  What
 would happen if I put Nitrous into a spit engine?  Has anyone ever done
 this?  Any good reason not to?  What is the overall experience here?
 
 It would make that Porsche look silly sitting at the light as I stream past
 him. >>

Hello,

That Midget had a Cosworth Vega engine!  Not that it matters much as far as 
your question goes, but it may have gotten my brother out of my hair for a 
while.  He has been talking about putting a Cosworth Vega engine in my TR4A 
for years.  I showed him that article, and his eyes really lit up!   If I can 
find a decent Sprite or Midget tub, I will buy it and give it to him so I 
don't have to listen to his nonsense any more.

Any leads??
