Yesterday at local race track
Non-Mopar
At about the 1250 mark, his filter gasket decided to leave its home (Wix)
Put 2 1/2 quarts on the track, he went for a wild ride but, kept it pointed mostly straight , fast car ..
I have known him for most of my life, told him .. don't run it again
"why?) --I said, well I bet you nicked a bearing or two or all
Bet it lost oil for moment and at 6000 + rpms, it hurt it
said still has Oil pressure ?
so worried about points, goes up
and dumps the crank on the track , and was really upset about all his bad luck ..
2nd ride was wild again but, got it gathered up
That wasn't bad luck , that was being stubborn
That wasn't stubborn. That was stupid. He isn't paying his mortgage with his winnings. If he is he's a fool. It's his hobby. Not his life. And even then, it's not worth the carnage to do what he did for a trophy that has little value
That was just stupid. No excuse. Stupid.
