Default Nitrous intimidation

A friend was invited to race someone else I knew so I turned up to watch and as soon as I arrived the first thing said to me was "I'm not racing you, I know what setup you have!!" How come people are intimidated by nitrous?? Even if I didn't have the system I'd still have a go.

I think he was more intimidated by the fact that its a HYUNDAI with nitrous. One of them will permanently bruise the ego.

I have heard that the old Dodge 340 V8 used to have the same effect on timid opponents
