2. By your lack of reference I'll take it that there is no data/field test/results from the API as well the OEM specifically as it relates to using these oils and lubricants in drag racing engines, transmissions, rears and cars!

3. 200 passes in the stock 1968 12 bolt under a 3880 lb. Chevelle that launched wheels up every pass, running as quick as 9.72 and 60 footing low 1.30s and a best of 1.28!

3. if your replies in this thread is an example of your knowledge than without question I have more ON THE TRACK experience than you!

"becoming a world champ has nothing to do with one's mechanical ability and/or knowledge of the mechanical components in the cars they drive!" Ed Bigley

More than likely it does.
What about setting records?
What about when the race turns heads up, something you would know nothing about.

I have a question,
Being your mechanical abilities run so deep, and your on track experiance and all, and twenty years of racing this 68 Chevelle above in negative 1000 feet air, how did THIS put 8 tenths on your junk in 50 passes total in 615 feet air?

1.283
3.74
5.86 115.7
9.29
142.24
Documented production oval port big block
And I might add, this year I would bet it will be right there with your 522 inch SS/GT car, and faster pound for pound.

No, as a matter of fact, I don't own it or drive it.

Me? I'm just the engine builder, transmission builder, rear end builder, and crew chief.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that we won class 3 years in a row at the Bowling Green National Open, two years in a row at the St. Louis National Event, were runner up in Stock at St. Louis in 2010 (I was the engine and transmission builder, as well as crew on the Super Gas winner there that year as well), and the 2010 Bowling Green Stock/Super Stock Combo champions in 2010 as well.

You guys will argue over the most petty things.......and ya know what I like about Ed ( and I'm not a nut swinger ).............. it's the wake of controversial entertainment that's a quarter mile long where ever he plants his feet.
Regardless . Ed you better behave...........or you're going right back in the penalty box.
