Max,

I know the Dragsters have "Fuel Classes" and I know they're faster than
Gas. The Karts surprise me, Most are 2-cycle??


Most, yes. There are some 4-stroke classes, but those are generally for
novices or those with less-competitive instincts. Model airplane engines,
the majority of which were two-strokes until recently, burn a mixture of
alcohol, nitromethane, and lubricating oil.

We used Nitrobenzene in the Hydro..


And I though nitromethane was toxic. That stuff is patently lethal. I hope
you didn't drink any of it? :-)
