At Dark Side we have focused our lives on harnessing that magical chemical CH3NO2 "Nitromethane." It comes as no surprise that we focus our courses on the "Top" category of Drag Racing. Drag Racing 101 offers students a basic understanding of racing, safety, mechanics and a history of drag racing. Then we transition to NITRO.
