Flatout
Gaskets Takes Nitrous Wars Into Third Straight Season
PITTSBORO, N.C. (February 12, 2018): It’s been one of the
most popular racing programs to hit the stage in recent
years, in no small part because of the incredible
entertainment and competition it births. The Flatout
Gaskets Nitrous Wars have been known by no other name as
Flatout has retained unmatched support of the program
since its inception. Flatout Gaskets now takes the Nitrous
Wars into its third season.
The program, which gives a platform to Pro Nitrous engine
builders and their drivers, both showcases these companies
and gives way to friendly competition. Birthed out of
unofficial smack talk, the Flatout Gaskets Nitrous Wars
boasts a larger-than-life nitrous bottle that is
continuously handed off to the latest Pro Nitrous Low
Qualifier who adorns the bottle as he or she wishes. At
season’s end the engine builder whose customers hold the
most Low Qualifier Awards gets ultimate bragging rights.
So far, Musi Racing Engines has dominated the program.
The 2018 season promises no slouch in competition and the
bullseye on Musi and company is greater than ever. It’s a
safe bet that fellow engine builders Charlie Buck, Sonny
Leonard, Reher-Morrison and Billy Albert will be bringing
their best to shake Musi’s throne.
“It’s been a good program,” shared Flatout Gasket’s Mark
Adelizzi. “It started off well and has been driven well.
We’re quite happy with it. We sell product to a lot of
engine builders. The Nitrous Wars gives them a target to
shoot for to bring that bottle home. It’s fun. Everybody
gets to mark it up, just something a little extra that’s
provided us, in turn, great visibility.

“Charlie Buck has a new engine coming out this year and it’s something to
keep an eye on,” Adelizzi hinted. “We’ve done a lot of work trying to
develop the head gasket and other gaskets for it. We’re excited that’s
going to take off.”
In addition to backing the Nitrous Wars, Flatout Gaskets is a PDRA
contingency sponsor and will have a presence at every PDRA event in 2018.
“We do a lot of different things alongside of gaskets. We make covers for
all different ports on the engine and block off plates and so on. We do
products outside of automotive, such as metal fabricated with our fiber
optic laser, our water jet and our bending equipment. We’re a growing
company. We’ve got a good staff and are going to add some more this year.
It’s all going the right direction.
“We try to take it one step further than other gasket companies. We focus
on the details of the gasket, the fit, the finish, the sealing ability. We
spend a lot of time and effort trying to make things as perfect as they
can be. We can react very quickly compared to some of the larger
manufacturers. They really can’t be competitive because they can’t react
fast enough like we can. We spend a lot of time on it, not just with PDRA
but other sanctions as well.”

Aptly, the 2017 Pro Nitrous World Champion racked up the most Low
Qualifier Awards for the season, so Tommy Franklin has held onto the
coveted nitrous bottle throughout the off season. As the season opener at
GALOT Motorsports Park, April 5-7, the slate will be wiped clean and all
bragging rights will be up for grabs. Follow the drivers, engine builders,
and PDRA on social media for behind the scenes looks at the nitrous
rivalries.
