Damn I am old. I remember when adding mothballs to the fuel was the thing to do ….

I've heard of NASCAR Modified teams spraying the air filter element with NOS, freezing it and placing it on the engine just before the qualifying laps.

What caused the explosion that happened to a Mopar Pro Stock Team years ago?. I believe it happened at a National event...

Nitrous Oxide explosion/ back fire on starting line @ Indy.

I once thought about wearing one the NOS "Let's Cheat" t-shirts to the track just for laughs but wisely thought better of it. But I did wear a t-shirt that stated "Just when you thought you had the rat race won, along comes a quicker rat" Dave Lebrun loved it and we laughed about it all summer long.

Keystones late 80`s???
I used to think my memory was pretty solid, not so much anymore.

Jerry Eckman had a N20 explosion in pits IIRC.

Didn`t their shop burn down, or get robbed, at some point ( after that)?
