If that is what you want, just skip it and run 5 gallons of race gas a few times a year you hit the track. Isn't even remotely worth it to run only at track unless you are there every weekend.

No regrets here....the ability to run E85 and 93 is the best of both worlds.

E85 is a great, and I regret not doing it sooner, but it is great for street use and to use whenever you can.

If you are going to spend $3k+ on a fuel system to support e85, just to run it a few times a year at a track event, I think that is a waste. Just spend the $50 each time on some race gas. If you are going to run it daily, and whenever you can, then hell yes do e85.
