I guess everyone does what they do. I've changed it out before every race and never had an engine failure in the Honda but once... I had an hole in the pan from the gator strip at 8 and starved a bearing.

I'm just giving you a hard time so you'll come race Z's with us in ITS!!
Yep, I agree and there isn't any one right way. You ought to hook up that oil temp gauge though just so you know what you're dealing with.
I thought I read that ITB was so economical that ITB racers actually made money to race? Now you're in ITB you should be living large!!!

I wish that were true. There was the cost of conversion, plus the extra fuel that the car burns, and since I'm now carrying higher speeds, brake pads probably won't last me 12 weekends!
Z car, huh?... those things got fuel injection, or are you dealing with carbs? you know what they say... "once you've gone PGFI you'll never go back!"

True and I think I'll start lobbying for a carb allowance. You guys have it easier in the paddock and have less work to do tuning the car. Therefore your are fresher for the race start, aren't covered in oil and grease and don't smell like gas. Definitely a disadvantage racing all nasty and tired.
