Methanol fires in racing are scary. No flame, no smoke, just burning you.
I had an RC car as a kid with a small combustion engine that used methanol. When I and my friend realised that methanol burns without a flame we got so excited. It brought a new dimension to our army men shenanigans. That and discovering home made napalm.
Oh man, the homemade napalm comment really hits home for me. How did you use to make it? My friend always said that it was by melting polystyrene foam in petrol (no heat needed, it simply melts on contact).
Yeah we used styrofoam and melted it into this weird goo that sticks everywhere. Was dope.
New fear aquired
I saw that in a documentary recently. Absolutely terrifying.
