Default Is using nitrous cheating?

Some motor builders refer to nitrous as "cheater juice". I know that there are countless who claim that using it in a race is "unfair", and that relying on it is "pitiful".

What are you thoughts/arguments about the use of nitrous?

It's not cheating if you make it apparent. I have "Nitrous Injected" on my fender. Theres no questions.

It's only (maybe) cheating if you hide it.

i don't think it's cheating, if you aren't fast enough to keep up with someone who is spraying, then you need to hop on board with nitrous. isn't a turbo cheating? or is a sleeper a cheater?

Grudge racing, whether on the street or on the track is "run what you brung", so no. If you're racing in a class that disallows power-adders, then yes.
