Blown alcohol small block?

I live in Canada. Many guys up here will not run alcohol because of cold weather starting problems. I have a friend that runs it but it requires a squirt every time to get it going. Rons sells a kit that is marketed as just for easy starting.
He suggested the primer system as a way to get a squirt when you don't have a crew member handy. Another member on here told me that he runs on gasoline around the pits to speed warmup using a nitrous plate, then switches to the alcohol.
I am just asking how guys use alcohol fuel as I have never used it and am getting differing info. Perhaps I do not need the primer system, but some have told me that in the cooler months that I will.


It may be needed of it's really cold. I just trying to figure out why you'd want that, but the Canada thing makes sense. Even if you can start it on cold days, you're better off starting it on gas when it's cold.
