SWJFA

Howdy.
I was watching a heap of older SWJFA  roll cage mount Go-pro vids last night - man some of you SWJFA guys must pump some fuel at idle. Tons of header flames while staging. My car has a 80A pump and runs reasonably clean at idle and but with my laid back headers I still get a lung full of crappy air some times. SWJFA is just Methanol right? Got to say they do look great popping and banging away.
Cheers
Tony

I just googled "SWJFA" and learned it stands for SouthWest Junior Fuel Association.

I love this car.  It looks "right".  If I built one, it would look very similar.
