Benefits of Ethanol - High Performance
IndyCar Series
When winning means an edge of hundredths of seconds racing at 230 miles per hour, you'd better have an engine running at peak performance. So it was a remarkable endorsement of the power of ethanol when, in 2007, the IRL made 100% pure ethanol the official fuel for the IndyCar Series.
Ethanol Express
When it comes to power, there's fast and there's strong. You'll find the latter in a beast known as the Ethanol Express Pull Truck. It's a crowd favorite that proves you can have both brawn and brains - if you're running on ethanol.

SDSM&T & SDSU Formula SAE Series
The Formula SAE® (Society of Automotive Engineers) Series competition challenges teams of university students to design and fabricate small, Indy-style racing cars. The cars are judged in a series of static and dynamic events including engineering design, cost, presentation, solo performance and high performance track endurance.
POET sponsors two ethanol-powered Racing Teams: South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSMT) "Hardrocker" Racers & South Dakota State University Wild Hare Racers.

In the Sky
If your job description includes pushing high-performance stunt planes to the extreme edge of the laws of physics - and coming back down safely - you're going to think very carefully about the fuel you take into the sky. Just ask the Vanguard Squadron.
On the Water
When you're pulling as many as 30 water-skiers doing world-class stunts - people who put their safety your hands - you make sure your boat delivers power, performance and control. The Catfish Bay Water-ski Show in Sioux Falls, South Dakota does it with ethanol.
