I have to disagree. The premiere race cars all use FI, with the exception of drag racing.

that shows my drag racing ignorance. I did not know the top fuel cars were injected. Now that I think about it are they not Nitromethane Injected, or Alchohol injected. DUH

Top Fuel is nitromethane. If you want to burn alky you need to go down to classes like Top Alcohol.
Fuelers run A/F ratios around 1:1... stoich is 2:1 but they need to run them that rich or the engine won't last very long. (Keep in mind that an acceptable engine life is only losing 2 cylinders by the end of the run!)
