Who runs Alky/Meth for track days?
Im thinking about adding alky as my next big power mod some time next year. I was wondering if anyone ran it for HPDE's?
First off, are alky systems allowed with most organizations? How much do you normally go through in a day? What kind of mixture do you use in the system?

+1 for 100% meth.
You are correct but... We're not running it as primary fuel. It's injected/misted into the intake to improve performance. Basically its the polar opposite of nitrous injection. It allows you to increase boost and/or decrease your chances of experiencing knock. It also has a cooling effect on the intake charge.
