A word to the wise . . Over the years I've used the old "Sh*t in the carburetor" analogy as advice about doing what others have been observed doing, especially when they're successful.

In Racing, almost any kind, when one team is winning or going fast, everyone wants to know what they're doing or using to be so successful. And if a member of that team is seen taking a crap into the carburetor prior to the next race, many other racers will be seen straining over their carburetors for no other reason than they saw Member "X" doing it and "those guys go fast".

Point being, whatever the other guy does to his ride, do a little research and deduce the effect that change or material, or part will have on your engine. Don't assume it's good just because "John Force" uses (or says he does) a part, system or fluid of some sort. Knowing that someone one 'Does This or That" means nothing. KNOWING WHY is everything!

Go to the Oil Test Site I posted. Print it out. Read it until you understand it completely. I think it's one of the most informational and honest test series I've ever read. And it should save you both wear and tear on your precious Racing Engine and give you peace of mind that you're not using the best oil you can afford but the best oil that works.

Incidentally, I neglected to post the original poster's name and kind of blew that off. Sorry about that. Now I can't find it either, but thanks again for that link. It's a great piece of information!
