Since the "H" word came up here is a good read

alkyal:
Thanks for the info. Knew about the Nazis using it for a fuel from history channel. I asked because a Jr Dragster engine builder told me that they mixed it with nitro and alky. I had never heard of this before and now dont ever want to try it. As for hydrazine, My old Boss mixed it with Gasoline to run in his NHRA Event winning car [AA/GD] in the 60s. He was a Chemical Engineer and never had a blow-up. Those were the days.

The take I got from some old racers was that pro-ox was that there was no fuel test for it because of its high evap rate and would be gone by the time the fuel was tested. Word has it you could hold some in a glass and with the heat from your hand ,you could see it evaporate.

 Another trick a back in the day racer told me about, (Before there were burnouts), He would drain the secondary bowls and fill with a "Hot Mix" then would idle up to the line, get the signal and mash the throttle and dump the secondarys getting that extra hit. By the time the race was over, bowls would be filled back up with gas. He said he made more money by teardown protests than he did racing looking for the hidden tank

We used to sell a bunch of it to the local comp eliminator guys who were looking for that last thousandth>

It is such a strong oxidizer that it would precipitate the lead out of the race gas and send it to the bottom of the fuel tank>

At ten percent in alcohol would really wake up the motor
