Jerry if those guys using that stuff doesnt care about the health of others around them, the type of fuel will not change there cheating ways.
But much easier to detect in methanol

Yes... Homebrew naah... Lab created and expensive yes.. Theirs ONLY 3 ways to beat the good stuff... Pump Around,,, Chemical Test Strips,, but the best one is to dump this gas and go to Methanol..
Properly mixed you can expect 1/2 to 1 full hp.
Yes its very very dangerious to inhale especialy our young kids.. Attacks the nervious systems and brain..
I must ask?
Why won't a pump around work.. We've done it for nearly 30 years in the south and no one was fighting over the results??
Suck the tank dry and then move forward 4 ft and refill.. Who in their right mines will use their 40 a gallon fuel in that situation.. Thats right $40 gal
Methanol.. well we have dealt with it for how many years now... Its a simple water test to find a possible additive (cloudy fuel) BUT it needs to always be backed up with a hydrameter test to truely DQ someone...
Why make things complicated and expensive if you don't have too..
Yeah right, try that around here and you will have a riot.
Why should we make all the racers suffer because 1 or 2 think they are better than everyone else.

I think that depends on what your question is to begin with. In my case, the gas station I use has 91 non oxy and 87 regular available. What I wanted to know without going too far down the rabbit hole was, is there a difference, without making significant changes. The answer was physically noticeable, conclusive, and verified two drivers with back to back tests on same track same day same air density. I don't think I'd call it useless at all. Maybe the 91 would be quicker with more advance, but thats not really the point..First there can be a wide variance in jetting between gas variations so to do a back to back test between ethGas and non ethgas without retuning is useless info.
With a stock clone? I can't think of anything that would give a boost AND not smell "funny"Second Gas is very EASY to cheatup and make HP in the can.
Why would you want to test for octane rating, I dont think thats what anybody is even talking about here.?Also you cannot "TEST " for octane rating at the track.
I think its a great way to alienate 70% of drivers running clones. Want to force them to 206, that's a good way to go. Just becuase it's the simplest to test for cheating, doesnt make it the best fuel for karting my a long shot, especially in a low performance motor like a clone.Fourth Jerry D has the right Idea. Methonal is the best fuel to use in this situation. It has been time tested to be the "best" fuel for kart racing.
Ok, I'll bite, can you give an example of a race gas worth using in a clone that is more corrosive or damaging to the internals than meth?In all situations you still NEED to drain and flush the fuel at the end of the race day to protect the carb from corrosion and gumming up from the gas ,ethanol, additives,etc. Some race gas,s are far worse on the carb than Methanol.
Not true. Don't take my word for it, take a look at VP's website, different blends and compositions, if you want them.Methanol is also Manufactored to the same spec no matter where you buy it, unlike gas which could be any one of hundreds of blends plus race blends to boot
