Usually the idling or slow driving causes too much alky in the oil.
Many use a system to drive up to the lanes and back on gasoline.
This will save alky also.
Probird uses a system like this on his car. (or did anyway)

The 2nd system on gasoline could be helpful in colder weather to help warm up the engine also

That sounds very interesting. I'm curious how this 2nd system is setup and how one would switch back and forth. Even though it's a methanol carb it will drive around the pits just fine I assume??

I'm feeling kinda stupid right now, but like I said I've never ran alky before and have never even looked into what people are doing for fuel systems to run it.

I'm pretty sure the gas doesn't go thru the carb, it would never work. I tried running gas through my carbs and it ran richer then heck, has to be delivered in another way.

Correct, most are a system where a separate little pump that pumps gas from a separate tank to spray into the top of the carb/throttle body.
The alky pump is usually off if electric pump.
The gas setup privides just enough to keep the engine running, so no jack rabbit starts etc.

I had bad luck w sullen carb and e85 from gas station, never ran right, sent same carb to Rupert and never looked back, runs great no issues, runs cool in Midwest heat, cheap, I change oil twice a year, only thing added was vacuum pump and lean out valve. Drag race only. I by in 55 gal drum and distributor takes drum back when empty
