E85 gas

Since everyone is going "green", I was thinking that NHRA should allow the useage of E85 in SS/S classes.
Have the original carbs upgraded so that they can adapt to the E85 gas and allow the racer to get away from the ridiculas price of the race gas that is mandated. The E85 gas is about 104 octane and can run with an engine that has 14:1 compression. I for one would gladly change over so that there is nothing but good stuff coming out of my tail pipes instead of carbon and lead. There could also be a promotion from NHRA that their eleminator classes are doing good for the inviroment.
