Big difference between a little castor and all castor in terms of mess, goo, and carbon. Although a few still do run all castor, it mostly went out with the advent of quality synthethics. The mystery about European synthetics being so much better than ours is still alive and well.

The smell just isn't the same anymore though. Does anyone remember the smell of the hot Thimble Drome fuel in the red pint size cans? The tame stuff in the blue can wasn't so bad either. Talk about "smelling like the races!".
