I think the point Mr. Lee is trying to make with white gas is that you don't need the additional octane to get satisfactory performance and it doesn't have the 10% methanol that is becoming more and more prevalent. One of our pylon racers decided he would compete with gas rather than glow and standard pump gas didn't perform well for him so he tried 100 LL avgas, didn't give him any significant improvement in lap times so he switched all back to glow and now he is competitive. That experience got my evil mind to thinking "why not use glow fuel in a gasser"? That may not be that stupid an idea, same formula minus the oil mixture that dragsters uses, the main difference is our engines are not supercharge. I guess this early morning coffee has me thinking more than I should, I'll be quiet.
