Well.... Molded into the hood scoop, in a frame rail, in the oil pan, in the dry sump tank, in the fuel cell, in a fire bottle, in a CO2 shifter bottle, in a fake battery, or even carry on in the pant leg of your fire suit just to name a few

Eckmann's bottle was hidden in the dry-sump tank, not the oil pan.

The rule book did not have any wording saying you couldn't use N2O at the time.
The picture in question was not from a N2o backfire,but from a broken distributor shaft.
I'm not saying that they didn't use N2O,but there were a lot of others that did that have never been questioned.
It seems this dead horse keeps getting dug up and beaten every year around this time.

Here is part of the SS & DI story
"They will tell you it's totally impossible to run nitrous & not get caught'' Glidden said " but thats wrong,Thats flat wrong. A Ford with nitrous bumped me outta the field at Topeka last year. A Ford out of my own trailer. So nobody can tell me it can't be done. I know it can be done."
The the father told a incredable story of how his kids had bugged him for 18 months , convinced that some Pro cars were running nitrous & that he was missing the boat by not running it too. "I told them if i had to cheat to race i'd quit" he said "My kids know that: " if you think other people are doing it then go ahead, prove to me you can do it.But keep in mind that if you get caught you're going have to deal with the consequences; So they did & never got caught"
Later in the story
Then came the bombshell--- an admission at Indy by a Pro Stock racer with firsthand knowledge of nitrous oxide use : Rusty Glidden. With his confession came a detailed description of how the nitrous system was secreted in his car. "The holding tank was the big weight bar in the back. The nitrous line started there,went over the axle housing right up to the front of the car & stopped at the motor plate, which was rifle-drilled. One of the supports holding the hood scoop on was rifle-drilled & went up thru the top of the hood scoop to a small stainless steel line that had 2 jets centered over the carbs. With .029 jets we made 120 ftlbs more torque at 7000 rpm & averaged 90 more horsepower. According to Bob Glidden , the nitrous system was detection proof. "you had to have a combination of things to activate it so a tech guy couldn't walk up , turn on the ignition & open the throttle. The shock switch had to be on, the computer switch on, the engine running & the throttle wide open. Trust me" Glidden concluded " Thats not fiction"

That's cuz we're all bored to tears with no racing going on and if we didn't talk about stuff here, we might have to talk to our spouses.
