Not many that I've seen, meth is popular at the sprint tracks though.
Some have a 'pump around' system to avoid folks using nasty additives.
Most of us Solo types run gas in our 5 hp Briggs Raptor's for ease of
use more than anything. Meth needs to be purged from the system at
the end of the day, pump gas doesn't. However, gas gives a bit less
HP and is more picky about the air/fuel mixture. I have to choke it
down to start it but then open it up after it warms up. Simple
screw/knob on the carb.
Hope that helps,
Jeff
