They don't use alcohol based fuel, it's pump gas, E85 ethanol.

It's Alcohol-based fuel. He was beating at his clothes as he ran and one couldn't see flames on him.

If it's the same stuff they use in the Sprintcars, Modifieds, Super Saloons etc in Speedway then yes you can see the big fires, the small ones are invisible and can only be seen by the heat blur you get with every fire.unless it's on you, then you can feel it!

No I haven't as it hasn't been allowed on our tracks, (Speedway excepted), during my years of race involvement, but I have seen the effects of it over years of coverage of Indianapolis accidents and flare-ups in their pits. V8's use E85 which may have slightly more obvious flames than pure alcohol. Reindler was clearly beating at fire as he tried to get his gloves off and being rolled on the ground yet visible flames were not evident on the video .
