Thanks for the article. It was a good read. So I guess my only concern with using a straight racing oil is that this car is primarily a summer vehicle that I will use once a month for racing. And since racing oils have fewer detergents the article doesn't recommend using them for everyday use as the...

Re: Project Fiero
So I've done a bit of research and Parts Master oil is indeed made by Ashland which also makes Valvoline. Whether or not it's the exact same stuff is certainly up for debate.

Re: Formula Libre change of class name
Luke and I were discussing this yesterday and it made the most sense to us that if Formula Libre were changed to Unlimited , in order to not confuse it with Unprepared that class could be renamed to Street .
