The General Manager of Missouri Ethanol is Robin Venn. He’s currently in the process of getting his house sold in Kansas City so he can move to the Laddonia area.
I interviewed Robin after the grand opening festivities were winding down. He says that all the employees of the ethanol plant are from Missouri which he thinks is unusual but shows that central Missouri has the technical talent for a plant like his and that the plant is keeping those people near home.
I arrived at the Missouri Ethanol grand opening this morning just in time to take a quick shot of the Vanguard Squadron of Sioux Falls doing their ceremonial flyover.
I didn’t count heads but I’m guessing there were at least 600 people on hand in Laddonia, MO (population 620). The plant is expected to begin production by tomorrow.
Tomorrow I’ll be attending the grand opening of Missouri Ethanol in Laddonia, MO.
The race is over and it was an exciting one. As usual this season, ethanol wins.
Actually the first car across the finish line belonged to Dan Wheldon. Jeff Simmons in the Team Ethanol car battled up to 6th near the end. When I say battle, I mean it. It was rough out there. He finished 8th.
The race is on. Thank you weather.
It’s race day here at the Chicagoland Speedway and the weather is finally cooperating. Before the race started we had an ethanol press conference here in the media center.
Bobby Rahal is very happy with his Team Ethanol car and driver Jeff Simmons this weekend (so far). That’s what he told me in an interview just a few minutes ago.
I was hoping to be able to interview one of the owners of Rahal-Letterman Racing and got my opportunity by the garages. Bobby says that he’s happy with the performance of the ethanol blend of fuel that’s being used this year in all Indy cars. He joked that he wishes he was the only one who could be using it.
They say they’re Jeff Simmons biggest fans. They’re Liz and John Fry.
They’ve got an RV out here in the infield at Chicagoland Speedway and are ready to root for the Team Ethanol car tomorrow.
I interviewed Liz and John after hearing about their belief in ethanol and enthusiasm for following Jeff Simmons.
Jeff had an awesome practice session today.
At one point he made it a 3 car wide practice lap as he was passing other cars. That got everyone excited.
Jeff ended up with the 7th fastest practice lap this morning at 214.152 MPH.
Here’s a very confident looking race car driver.
This is Jeff Simmons about to get in his car for some practice laps this morning.
