We actually talked about setting my car up to run that stuff...untill we did some research and the only local place that I found that claims to have some is Mac Dill Air Force Base. Which we all know wont sell to the public.

If they offered it alot of us would probably use it. I mean its actually an alcohol. And we all know what alchohol does as a race gas. Its perfect! Only down fall is you have to use almost twice as much fuel to make the same power as gas but in turn it works out. The other down fall is you have to have the correct lines, pumps, injectors (or carb's), etc. If not the alcohol will just eat all the shit up. But if you building a car and need a fuel system they are now making alot of dual purpose pumps that now work with either gas or e85. Just buy those and your good to go!

But just as anything else in the car business it has it's plus's and minus's. One major one is probably the lower fuel milage. But at 2.82 a gallon and race gas getting up into the 8 - 8.50 range a gallon I think it would still be cheaper in the long run (I havent worked out the math so maybe my guess is wrong)

Plus NMRA has recently changed the rules to allow the stuff in its class's.
