hi, part time racer here.drag racing has a whole class of cars and events that run on nothing but ethanol.they would probably would have no problem buying locally if they could be assured of a consistant product,free of any contaminnants,all across the country.to assure a level playing field.they usually pick one supplier at the start of the season and he supplies all races.if there is any cheating it can quickly found by comparing the supplied fuel with the racers sample.

Tie-ing this in with the racing fuel discussion, with this handy list you provide of ethanol plants, it would be nice if a racing series would take a look at it, and, if some racing events are held not too far from ethanol production, they could make a point of using locally-made (locally-grown) fuel. This would put money back into the local economies, rather than sourcing all the fuel and the processing of it from out of state and perhaps out-of-country. This could also be done with electricity of course, as a racing fuel, for hybrid racers or EV racers.
