Are synthetic oils and lubricants any quicker

[Alan Roehrich]

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.

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

[1320racer]

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.

Your great knowledge and experience is wasted because so few people will listen to you with any credibility. People simply don't give credence to somebody who consistently is demeaning, combative and disrespectful in their attitude toward them.
And this has become the topic of this thread.

Very well said.
