Ha! After an experience where, without any audible or other warning, I
suddenly lost oil pressure (never quite got to the bottom of it... it
was night so I musn't have seen the plume of oil vapor behind me at
80mph). Next time I glance at the oil pressure it was dropping steadily
past 20lbs... ooops. Stopped pronto and checked the oil... nope, none
there that I could find!
Looked for leaks... nope none there! Yep, it all just blew through and
out the back (I no longer have that engine - it was old and worn out
anyway:-)
So I now constantly scan the guages for any signs of any unusual trend.
It is now a compulsion - but I guess a moderately healthy one :-)

Drove about 30 miles on them and seem to be getting used to them. To
*really* get a feel for them I am driving 8 hours on them tomorrow :-)
Yep, driving interstate on my expensive racing rubber - really. They
shouldn't get all that much worn... I will be going mainly in a straight
line :-) But These big wheels and wide rubber things feel awfully funny
and I just HAVE to get comfortable on them.
I will drop the list a line after Tuesday and let you know how theye
drive and on the track!
