I have run both fuels and will tell you from a "bracket" racer standpoint alky is hard to beat.

I agree. When done properly, it is great for bracket racing, and saves money.

This is my fuel cost comparison for a typical 5 passes down the 1/4 mile plus warm up time/fuel.
This is driving to/from the pits, which is a long distance at my local track, and my 511 drinks some fuel, and a smaller motor should use less.

110 Gas: (5 passes x 0.7 gal/pass + 0.5 warmup) x $7.75/gallon = $31
Methanol:(5 passes x 1.5 gal/pass + 1.0 warmup) x $2.70/gallon = $23
Pump E85:(5 passes x 1.0 gal/pass + 0.5 warmup) x $2.55/gallon = $14

My comparison was with $7.75/gal 110 octane gasoline. I hate to see what it would cost to run 150-300 passes a year on $12 extra high octane race gasoline.
