We race a boosted car on E85, greatest thing since sliced bread, but on a stock non boosted vehicle totally worthless...

Not necessarily,  You get the benefit of better performance since timing can advance due to higher octane, also it burns cleaner and keeps the inside cleaner.  Of all the used oil analysis I have seen, when E15 and up is used the analysis looks better. 

 

Also depending on the price difference from regular to E85 it can be a break even on cost or even less.

High compression non "boosted" engines love E85, so it's not worthless even if it's stock. Try running a 13 or 14:1 engine to the moon for long periods of time on crappy 91 or 93 octane, it won't last. Run it on 110 race gas for $15 a gallon or pump E85 for probably 1/5th that, I think I know what most will do.
