I have heard of a few cars running Motul with almost no oil and still being ok.
Probably engine speed and heat was the difference between the two.

Anyone know about the fire / smoke alarm caused by the guy charging his battery in the hotel room?
No names are required. Lets just call him Sparky!
Engine doesn't smoke or make noise. I was running Mobil 1 at the time. I'm going to drive it the next few days and see if anything shows up. Davidss told me to check a few things to see if there are any possible issues. A big thanks to him for taking out the time to help me out.
Highlight video. Includes revs' oil. ;)
I'm famous now. I think I made everyone's video.
Let's just say being on the cover of Sportscar may carry the same curse as being on the cover of SI. Chris has a really bad weekend..... Nuff said.Quote:

So, who is doing the results tabulation? The PCA?
I don't recall any runs getting lost when I blew an oil filter at LaGrave but the course was shut down for a couple of hours. There were only a few pitchforks and torches.Quote:
