Rough weekend....
Went to a track quite a ways from my house. I called a week before just to check to see if my puller is legal before we made the long trip. Specifially methanol becuase my engine is built to under there max. The owner said it was ok...
After winning the first round and finishing 2nd during the 1050 class. (got too far to the left and was almost out of bounds lost by 11 inches) the owner said a few was upset I was running methanol. we discussed it and I had a copy of the rule book and we concluded that I was infact legal. So he told me not to worry about it. I made my last run in the 1150 class and full pulled 344 feet. Pulled too far because I did not know where the finish line was. I was almost in the grass. lol... The second place pulled about 230 feet. As I was returing down the return lane a fellow puller jumped in front of my tractor and called me a cheater. I told him I would protest my own motor and pay for it if it made him feel better. Well he went running to the owner along with some of his buddys. They came to my trailer and tried to argue that they had a meeting prior to the event and they would not allow methanol. It was never added to the rules that was given to me. Well I got pissed cause the guy called me a cheater in front of my daughters. So I pulled out the $50 to cover the protest and the guy refused. We then got into a heated argument for a few minutes. They gave me the win but no points (I dont run there for points anyway) A few minutes later everyone calmed down and we shook hands. But I was still upset that my daughters saw this. I have to say the owner of the track did one heck of a job fixing the issue but is this a normal occurance when you go to a new track and out pull them. I got out of kart racing because of this.

If it were in the rules that methanol was legal then he had no right to be mad. I can understand you not being happy about him calling you a cheater in front of your daughters. ya ask me hes a sore loser,who got spanked,prob jealous and alcohol could have been involved.Been to a few pulls in the past and sometimes its hard to tell whos more juiced up the tractors or the drivers!

what benefits are there to running methanol in a small engine? They're normally pretty low compression, and with a L-head/flathead engine milling the head down too much will kill airflow (hence they're normally around 7:1 or something really low like that).
Methanol (alcohol) has a slower, more stable burn rate than cheapie gas (87 octane here), and that stuff burns fine. Wouldn't a slower burn rate not produce maximum cylinder pressure (however the slower burn offers knock resistance). Maybe special pistons are used? I dunno. Just wondering.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
