My cousin and I in preparation for a Mini-bike race with a neighbor thought it be good idea to replace the spark plug and oil. So we walked down to the store and bought a Champion plug but I had this brilliant idea to buy a can of STP thinking that would be the speed secret of the day. Good enough for Richard Petty, good enough for us.
So we drained the oil and replaced it with the STP.
How do you think went? Not so good as the engine failed to start until one of the older guys in the neighborhood saw the can of STP asked a few questions, called us few names and told us to drain it and refill it with oil.
We won the race and a lesson learned.
