I though they just ran "street cars" on Tuesday nights down there? Could you make it to Bowling Green on Saturday night?
So I guess the ole truck is still working well then? No more clack-clack?

Yeah if it's not raining I should be able to make it up Saturday. I'll PM you for more details. We could try hittin the Hill Tuesday night maybe..?
Yes 10w40...That's all I run. It really helped cut down on my oil usage. In the winter if you drive it a lot you could go to a 10w30 or 5w40.
