I was reading an article about nitro fuels and I noticed something that kind of bugged me. All out nitro racing is so competative, evidently, that the racers don't give a crap for their engines. Apparently "racing" fuels have less protective additives so the racers can lean out the engines more. This puts enormous stress on the engine, but, at that level of competition, it just flat out doesn't matter.
Obviously, engine life is something of importance to you and me. Also like a lot of you, I run O'donnel 20% Racing fuel. I've been concerned in the past with engine temps being a little higher than I thought they ought to be.
I've read that caster oil is a great organic lubricant -- even paris racing recommends it. I've also read that caster oil can leave residue over prolonged use.
Do you guys add lube to your "Racing" formula nitro fuels to prolong engine life? If so, what do you add?
