Most people don’t know it, but Tad Whitten – owner of Motorsports Management – says ethanol has been used as fuel for more than 100 years. That’s why Tad is operating exhibits at the 2007 Missouri State Fair and the 2007 Iowa State Fair. He wants to educate people on the history of ethanol as a fuel source in the U.S. I stopped by Tad’s exhibit at the Missouri State Fair where he has a replica of 1933 Ethanol filling station. The old-time exhibit features skits throughout the day, which creates a conversation between a filling station attendant and a customer who is filling up his tank with ethanol. An audience can then “eavesdrop” at the scene and learn about the corn-based fuel. At the filling station, Tad filled me in on some ethanol history. You can listen to the interview here:
