RFA, Boat Racing Association partner on E10 ethanol
In Washington, the Renewable Fuels Association and the National Boat Racing Association have announced that they will provide all powered boats competing in the 2011 NBRA series event races with E10.
While the blogosphere is filled with complaints about two stroke motors being damaged by E10 ethanol blends, Robert White, RFA Director of Market Development, states, “We are thrilled to partner with NBRA to dispel any notion that ethanol is an unfit fuel for marine engines… The use of E10 in these racing boats proves that this fuel is as effective during your weekly commute in your automobile as it is on your weekend boating trips.”
Current plans reportedly include Fan Packs of ethanol information to be given to the first 200 attendees at each event with RFA’s “Fueled With Pride” logo displayed on uniforms, course buoys and flags, t-shirts sold at the races by NBRA, trophies presented at national events, near refueling areas of all boats, and on signs placed throughout the viewing area. The NBRA is a national sanctioning body focusing on sport of stock and modified outboard hydroplane and runabout racing.
