Default looking for suppliers of 98% (E98) Ethanol

I have been told that there are some companies selling E98 Ethanol for racing to use instead of Methanol.
There are a few drag racers running it, and the INDY CAR racing series is now using E98 or E100 from Brazil, thier new sponsor.

I need to find a company that is selling E98 (98%-100%) Ethanol for a new Twin Turbo Drag race set up for my 63 impala.

I Would like to purchase 55 gallon drum quantities.

I live near Grand Rapids

PM me if you have a good source.

Thanks

You might try to contact a local place that sells E85 and see who their distributor is. I know a local guy here (Portland OR) has a distributor come by and fill their 500 gallon tank with E98 and then he resells it.

I highly doubt that you will be able to find E100, as I am told most distributors need to cut it with a little gas to prevent people from drinking it...

Why not just run E85 or 100% methanol? The amount of heat reduction difference from E98 vaporizing compared to E85 is quite small. The 15% gas in E85 also helps keep rubber components from drying out quickly. I use methanol in my turbo car even though I have run it on E85 and gas.
