Now I know that I could be 100% wrong on this...BUT, in my opinion...If ANYONE was truly successfully using nitromethane in their car on any of these shows, they damn sure wouldnt blast it out to everyone...If nitro suddenly was cool to use, the blower guys would be untouchable.

There are other forms of highly oxygenated fuels that can be added to race fuel for some serious gains.. also, untraceable on a fuel test... it's been done..; )
