In order for my compressor to complete the removal of water vapors I had to add a "Desiccant Filter/Dryer" to the system. Otherwise in this 99% humid air I would be filling my tires w/ water. I'm still surprised how much water I will drain from the system.

You're right, both about their being all over the map and about it being interesting. Among amateurs, setting up a car for tracking is a lot like cooking. Everybody has their own recipe.

I get my nitrogen from http://wwwSukkuRsRus.com. Send your tires in and they send 'm back full up.

OK, joking aside, many tire shops (even Costco apparently) will provide Nitrogen for a cost - is it worth it? You decide:

I keep a pump in the garage, regulary check my tire pressure, and don't plan to ignite them - old school, not trendy.
