all the smells at the track are great. Alcohol,Burnt Rubber, VHT, I love them all.

This is most likely what you smelled. They have Cherry, Grape, and all sorts of others.

I'm thinking it's the VHT at the track, I bought a bottle of it before for my ride and it smells really sweet.

Yep, pretty much. It kind of makes your exhaust smell better. Its just a marketing thing to sell to us. But hey if you want your exhaust smelling like Pina Colada then there ya go.

How about some real smells like, Bud Light, or Jose Cuervo. Or even Steak, BBQ Chicken. Thats what guys like!!

Alcohol fuel cars smell a bit good to me,and make nice power. Maybe you are smelling the Nitro/ Meth.
