Angus will make nitro but will not sell pure nitro to any but a chemical plant or lab. They will sell 50% nitro and methanol. They will not sell to drag racers because there is a very slim chance that someone can crash into a drum of nitro and the whole drum explode. Some are not aware it is a monopropellent and as such can burn with no extra oxygen.
The last time I went to the club almost half were glow, maybe 1 or 2 gas, and the rest electric. At another nearby club it is mostly glow, some gas, and one or two electric. Electric is more popular at the former becasue they have a charging station at each table. So it has dwindled but not as much as you think.
