Nice Jason, what is your brother running? I slowed down as I got older I was in an altered a few years back just drove events and match racing for show, toured 1/2 season with Federal Mogul circuit. I decided a long time ago closest thing to Nitro I will drive is an RC car lol.
If you want to talk crazy fuel a Jet car uses insane amount of Kerosene to make a run.. I know they carry extra 7 gallons so they can put on a show... If I remember correct they have 25 gallons in total or something like that depending on whose car it is... forgot the rules on them its been some time. Now that is a lot of fuel to go 1/4 mile.
My car, I was running Alcohol but started the swap back to gas I am detuning it to drive on the street once more (changing pulleys) It has been sitting 4 years now destroying expensive tires that were never used..
