#1 What crate rules does the track run by. Some series do not allow E85.
#2 What sized track and is it flat or banked enough that you do not lift much.
#3 You will need an E85 test kit and you will need to test the fuel before putting it into the cell. You will more than likely need to keep some racing gas on hand to mix in to keep the alcohol/gas percent right.
#4 Alcohol loves water so you will have to make sure you keep the fuel sealed in its container to keep it from absorbing water from the air and when you clean the car.
#5 Some people have had issues with there fuel lines running E85 so make sure the lines are alcohol compatible.
#6 Don't forget about the fuel pump as you will be using more fuel the pump may need to be changed to be compatible with alcohol and to pump enough fuel.
#7 Make sure your fuel cell foam is alcohol compatible or you will be cleaning it out of your lines and filter.
