Switching to alcohol is lookin' better, better and smarter the more I consider running it.

Anybody who claims that $20 worth of fuel is make or break to their racing program, shouldn't even be thinking about racing.

Same guy comes back after a failed attempt to stage his car....it rolled through the beams because if he forgets to turn off something the t-brake won't engage. I say "you need to fix that", he's like "nah, I just need to remember to turn that off".

I honestly don't know how he gets his shoes on.

I have always said that alcohol will definitely allow you to make a fool of yourself more than gasoline... most people's problems running alcohol come from being way too fat or not keeping the engine hot enough. You can go 8 rounds on an alcohol motor that is twice as fat as it needs to be - you'll make a mess of things but you COULD run it that way, whereas the same combo on gas would not make it to the staging lanes for the 1st time run without fouling plugs. Most of the people with alcohol horror stories about crazy maintenance requirements, milky oil and engine damage came from watching someone who didn't know what they were doing. I'm not trying to convince anyone to run it, I'm just sick of hearing about how bad it is... I like paying $4 a gallon and not having to worry about temps when making back-to-back runs late in the day.
