No. It doesn't make sense when you can just run E85.

Thanks Jid but unfortunately we dont have E85 here.

Personally, what do you think about W/Meth system in long run?
Any forseen problem?

I really don't like the idea of Meth for a track car - personally. I know some do it, but I'm not a fan. Too many parts and systems that can go wrong - and using a complex method to solve a simple problem (octane). My double pumper system is already more of a hack than I would like to be doing.

If I didn't have access to E85, I would just go the route that most of motorsports does - race gas; you gotta pay to play.

Paint colour will effect how much heat the wheels radiate.
If your tyres are running hot, go Black.
If your tyres are running cold, go white

Love the blue! I wanted blue on my wheels that I just dropped off at the powdercoaters, but decide on matte black. Maybe when my car is track status like yours will I do blue.
