My pernt was that the cars were fine with methanol then ethanol (forgot to mention they went from meth to eth). The switch to 85 thing was just a gimmick to please and have tree huggers associate with.
I have never run into your "plenty", tho' I'm sure "they're" out there somewhere. No spectators, I've met at any track care. I'm highly opinionated (can't you tell....) and, again, I could care less as long as they're ICEs.

NaBUru38 was entirely correct. They didn't state that all cars made only one stop. Heck, even my example was the plan...but Gurney had to stop for tires more than once if I recall correctly.

This discussion carries as much weight as my concern of fuel on board...don't you agree?
