I bought a case of Joe Giggs 15W-50 from Hoerr Racing Products for $57 a
case. I also ordered some other parts [AN fittings]. Do not know what the
threshold was, but shipping was free. They are in IIIinois, I am in
Seattle. Bought a case of Brad Penn brake in oil locally to use in the two
new motors I am breaking in [one street, one race].
On braking in a race motor: How do you do it -- only place the car can run
is on the track. First sessions out will be test and tune, so I can control
somewhat the speeds for each 20 minute session. Sure would like some advice
in this topic.
