Thank you to those of you who have shown your appreciation of this thread. I truly hope that what we have found can clear up some of the mis-conceptions about the future of ethanol in the USAC Silver Crown series, and help competitors to feel confident in moving forward with the change.

Calistoga-

I understand that you are upset about USAC Silver Crown choosing to use Ethanol in 2012. I have just read the entire thread that you started a month ago titled, "ethanol sucks," and the claims that you made about how ethanol will ruin the series.

However, this thread was not started to generate unsupported opinions about what is or isn't "garbage."

I started this thread to address some of the concerns that individuals and competitors have previously expressed about the use of the ethanol, including: whether or not bladders will be compatible, if engines will run so hot that new radiators and cooling systems will be required, whether the racing will suffer due to a noticable lack of power, and etc.

What I have reported here are results that we experienced from an actual test while running the Ignite racing ethanol, and are nothing more than that.

If anyone has questions about our experience and what we've found while running the Ignite ethanol, please feel free to ask, I am happy to do what I can to help.

Thanks,

Kody Swanson
