im with 68gtoMN all the way.. I'm all for any fuel that racers want to use as race fuel is a drop in the bucket. being in the midwest I see first hand how ethanol fuel helps farmers. As long as you're a corn farmer!! It hurts all other farmers as they have to buy corn at elevated prices as silage. putting our food in our gas tanks drives up the the price of our food. do you like the price of beef milk and eggs these days? corn prices are up because we're burning it in our tanks. I can't get gas here without corn in it here!. It takes a gallon of oil to produce a gallon of ethenol. we're not 'creating' fuel or burning less oil by using corn to fuel our vehicles.
back on subject, I'll put e85 in my race car if it makes sense for my race car, but your race car it a very different subject than what the masses burn.
