I didn't even know NA$CAR was considering this...:smoke


NASCAR Chairman Brian France said that the series might not use ethanol next season, going against previous comments from series officials that it would be used in 2011. "I don't know that we'll see (ethanol) in 2011 as a biofuel," France said this weekend at Daytona. "It's certainly an option that is interesting. There's a lot of thought that goes into it. It will be important for us to evolve the fuel source in the national divisions over time. I don't know what will happen in '11. We're working on a lot of things. What I can tell you is we will have a very slow, very steady and sometimes with a big impact, but steady march towards... this sport looking and feeling and acting more green."(Hampton Roads)(7-4-2010)

Ethanol not Methanol...

Don't know; this was the first I'd heard of it...

Maybe they still will go to unleaded in 2011... Didn't know about that either... :smoke
