Deano 1,318 Posted June 24, 2022 Workington’s revival is what makes Speedway special. The people behind this venture need to understand because of them, speedway has a future. Kids and adults for years to come can enjoy this sport in Workington because of them. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scampispeedway 67 Posted June 24, 2022 Jenga, you said quote I like to smell the Methanol, that is not the same as the smell that comes out of the exhaust pipe on a speedway bike which is from the oil not the fuel.. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neila 1,086 Posted June 24, 2022 See Mr shovler (of rubbishe ) has not been back to reply !! Maybe he reliezes what crap he was talking, but suppose watching Poole won't know what a good speedway track is like 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scampispeedway 67 Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) Adding to my previous post, the Chemical Formula for Methanol is CH3OH and when this is used as a fuel produces Methane CH4 gas and normal Water H2O, the latter can condense in the tail pipe of the exhaust or be ejected as steam vapour, neither of these compounds have any smell. I remember years ago adding a small amount of Castol R to my petrol for my motorcycle, just so as I passed by people could get a faint wiff of destinctive smell of the burnt oil, at no time could I smell it as I long since travelled down the road and after a while stopped doing this as it really wasn't worth the cost of adding it.
