racing the dart last night at are newly reopening of irwindale dragstrip. i had the hood off since it was in for painting. in the final round of the money bracket i was just about to cross the line and HOLY YOU KNOW WHAT i cant see any more. i thought it had split a radiator hose, but what had happened is i pushed out the oring on the filter. there was so much smoke and oil that i could not see where i was on the track. the shut off at that track gets narrow and dark. after pulling over and the saftey crew arived it caught fire from the oil on the headers. it was put out quick and there was no damage. i should have listened to you guys about the choice of filters. it was the napa 1515. a lesson learned in life. its funny that that same filter had about 20 runs prior. i got lots of cleanig to do this weekend as oil is all the way down the leftside of the car, roof door and major mess in the engine compartment.
