M5 is what you want.

I don't think I can mail a jug.... I get mine at a local race shop. They pump it in my barrel from a bulk tank.

I had too much going on yesterday to hit the drag strip. I may be getting a couple gallons dropped off soon so it won't matter anyway. If it works out I'll go buy several gallons from the drag strip or order a 5 gallon jug of the VP M5

That VP M5 looks to be advantageous over the other two they offer. Also looks like the M1 is like the methanol you get at the dragstrip

That's what I was told that the M5 is better for the 2 strokes and makes better power. I'll take M1 if that's what I can find locally.

What is the highest percent nitro somebody knows that has been run on a saw or two stroke?

2 stroke 80% in rc cars. Saws probably 40% is a lot.

Quick changeover for this guy

I have ran up to 50% while experimenting. Also was running 3%acetone and 6% oil.

Bump. Went to newaygo, a couple hours from me yesterday. Some pretty heavy hitters there, including mr mel lentz. After totally butchering my 3cube run, i only just managed to beat phil helsels young son carter out of last place...as @Hedgerow likes to say, i gained some more perspective on just how good these guys are. Cold start racing in front of a crowd will get the heart pumping for sure.

Did you get any video?

 

[Hedgerow]

Hard to get video when you're busy getting spanked at a saw race..

I know this from experience..

If anyone with the last name Helsel shows up, I'd figure it's gonna be a long day.

Thankfully i did not lol. Ran again today in manton, shawn got vids of 3 cube, 5 cube and hotsaw. Did considerably better today. He said vids would be on his youtube tomorrow sometime.

Phil set another record in the hotsaw today. 2.30 in 8x8 poplar. Wtf. Shawn let me run his gas, muffler 3120. Threw down a 5.79 muhself hahaha. Had to make 4 cuts, cut out on the first cut (shoulda had it squared up before i ran...)

 

[cus_deluxe]

Did shave over 1.5 seconds off my 3cube run from saturday. Sadly, still about 1.5 seconds from being relevant, which is an absolute eternity when you watch these guys run.

At least ass whoopins are still kinda fun in saw racing.
