The big problem I see is safety. Menthanol is by far much safer than gasoline in an open wheel race car. When we pull on the track we are usually the heavy car on the track but we will still run the wheels off of that old thing. Stop worring about weight we haven't in 5 years and still do pretty good.
With speeds aproaching 100 mph at Lburg and Windy hollow we could do some serious damage. When you guys go out and buy a cut down wire harness one of the first things that they take out is the fuel pump controller. They make a oil pres controller for the fuel pump but a lot of guys are not running them. They just hook the pump up with the ignition switch.
***** If You Get Knocked Out and If The Fuel Line Comes Loose You Are Going To Be Squirting Fuel (Gasoline or Methanol) for probably about 20 feet at 45 PSI. THAT DOES PRESENT A PROBLEM . Lets stop worring about national weight or national fuel rules and at least get a national rule about fuel pump control before OSHA comes in and does it for us***********
