Recommended Engine Oil ?

1320racer · 05-04-2012, 09:47 AM

I haven't bad mouthed any oil, I've offered my opinion as did everyone that replied has while also offering first hand experience with the oil I have been using for the past 26 years! Lastly, you assume too much. I have run Royal Purple and I run Joe Gibbs XP-1 in my son's jr. dragster.

The op will and should run whatever type and viscosity oil HE chooses regardless of what my or anyone else's opinion is. IF there's anyone's opinion he should be listening to, it's his engine builder!!!

Joe, get over yourself and your what does a bracket racer know mentality.

THIS bracket racer KNOWS!

That said, I'm sorry that my car is over a second quicker than yours, I'm sorry that I race more weekends in a season than you, I'm sorry that I race for more $ than you, I'm sorry that I win more than you, I'm sorry that I don't run the same oil you do, I'm sorry that I don't feel having to buy a new window net every 2 years is a big deal and I'm sorry I don't race in any Super Stock class.

WOW, now don't you feel better? You finally came out and said it, you don't race a "Class Car". Now as for your car being faster than mine that's easy to prove.... I have to weigh 11lbs. per cubic inch, 276X 11=3036 -100lbs. for auto trans Min. weight for me is 2936, I run it at 2975lbs. I average 9.75 seconds. So lets set your car up to 11lbs. per cubic inch, then you post how fast you went,deal? Saying your Big Block car is faster than a car with a 6 cyl. is typical bracket racer chump talk. So in parting let me congratulate you on your "coming out" and please let me know your results at 11lbs. per cube, can't wait to here the results. Joe

Ed's car would need to weigh only 5742lbs to make that 11lb break.....LOL

Might be hard on driveline parts at that weight Ed....

1320racer · 05-04-2012, 10:37 AM

Rich, as you know, my car was built to and ran GT/AA as well it ran GT/DA and HA IIRC and I have been offered engines to run in both AA and HA.

ED seems to be the one who needs to get over himself, if anyone can pull up an old post that indicates me giving advice on a subject I'm not well versed on I'll remove myself from any further topics of conversation. His statement would be akin to saying a full grown adult can out run a 2 year old. Or my F-350 can out pull your S-10 pick up, what pompus self centered dribble. You sir are not a very good representative of bracket racers, my son is a very good bracket racer he's won track championships more races than I can count, but he doesn't have the knowledge to advise someone on their class car setup. Hope some day he can but for now he does what he's best at, winning rounds and smiling.So let me know how it goes at 5700 plus lbs.Joe

1320racer · 05-04-2012, 10:56 AM

that is your opinion which is meaningless to me as well the op's question. Further, your claims of your son's bracket racing accomplishments have no place into this discussion.

That said, allow me to extent my personal invitation to you and your son to line up with me 1st round at the WFC on 7/13/2012 at Bristol Dragway.

buzzinhalfdozen · 05-04-2012, 10:56 AM

Sooooo get your borrowed AA or HA engine and have at it big boy, talks cheap. I"m awaiting your posts of fame and glory, as well as running 1.20 under.Keep me posted. Joe

Aubrey N Bruneau · 05-04-2012, 11:19 AM

I've GOT IT !!!!

Im gonna run a litre of 10 30 Amsoil, a litre of 20 50 Mobil 1, a litre of 10 30 Valvoline racing oil, a litre of 0 weight Royal Purple, a litre of some old Red Line, heck, a litre of good old Castrol GTX 20 50, a bottle of Lucas supplement, and of course, a litre of Joe Gibbs 0 30.
( good thing I have the larger capacity, so I can get all these products n there )

THEN, I ll make more power than ANYBODY... and in that bracket race, I ll kick your azzes ! ! !

buzzinhalfdozen · 05-04-2012, 11:25 AM

Not claims just fact, to indicate that not all bracket racers are know it alls that offer advice or input on something they have no experience with.So please remove foot from mouth, put in your buddies borrowed engine and let your accomplishments become the subject of tales long told. Perhaps you weren't instructed as a child as I was and I passed on to my children.... if you don't know what you're talking about, keep your mouth shut and your ears open.... you might just learn something. I have no need to try to impress anyone on here, I've raced, ran fairly fast and have offered help to any racer that's asked me, if I felt I had the ability to do so. I DO NOT profess to know it all and would be a liar if I stated so. I would like to believe I've earned the respect of at least a few of my peers, though it's not required. Joe
