This topic is about a motorcycle drag racer who had to pause his racing career in 2014 due to health issues that led to an ileostomy. Now, with renewed motivation, he is building a new drag bike and plans to return to racing next year. His daughter, who has been racing a junior dragster, is taking a break this season to support his comeback. He shares his determination to never give up, even in the face of challenges.

Here are some insights and advice shared in the discussion:

1. Fellow racers are supportive and encourage him to keep going, sharing their own experiences of not letting an ostomy slow them down.

2. For comparison, a forum member shared that their drag car runs 9.15 seconds at 147 mph, powered by a 565 cubic inch Big-Block Chevy on methanol.

3. Methanol maintenance tips:
- Install a 1-gallon fuel cell and a 4 GPM pump.
- Tap the intake manifold below the carburetor with a needle valve.
- Use 110-octane gasoline to drive around the pits and switch to methanol only at the burnout box.
- Run the carburetor dry after each pass to avoid the hassle of draining the fuel system and to prevent corrosion known as "white death.
