1oz diesel fuel to 10gal of regular unleaded is what the man said,

tonight, the guy has a patient on the formula but said he gives its use

I wouldn't. 1oz probably isn't enought o do much harm, but I doubt it
would do any good.
Might try mixing some nitromethane and hydrazene in the tank.

I tried the nitromethane and it didn't work. When I was a kid I had a
Hodaka Ace 100 trail bike and I thought "real racers burn
nitromethane!" so I poured about half a can of cox model airplane
fuel int he tank.

lets just say it didn't run very well..
I often wondered but never tried it.
I remember the Dragsters ran the combination for a little while.
The fuel tanks were on the front then. You could watch the clear fumes
rrise from the cap. Once it stopped the stuff had formed a class A
explosive...not a good thing.
They poured the two, into the tank, as close to the race time as
possible. i can't rememer any incidents, right off but I'm sure there
were a couple of unexpected detonations.
you've heard the hammer, of a real hemi,...the bark of alcohol and the
detonation of nitro? That mix was a little more robust.
They burn so much nitro I don't see how the pistons have any room to
compress.
