Most definately......look at NHRA's Pro classes and tell me how many Glidden , Johnson , Iaconio's and Sheppards are left.
One of the reasons I have no respect for todays drivers.
Yeah , Ed's abrasive as hell some times , just keep thickening the epidermis and you'll be fine.

Just a question about oils/lubricants, is Slick 50 still around or are they gone like Split Fire plugs. John Kissel

don't know if it's still on shelves but what I can tell you is back in 1986, I bought a new indy pace car, convertible corvette for my wife. She drove the same route to and from work every day. After a few months, I tried slick 50 and her mileage was immediately better by over 1 MPG.
