Joe,
It's just a matter of time....
You should have been there when my partner forgot to properly tighten the
drain plug on the GT-6 they used to run in GT3. His wife came around turn 15
at Thunderhill fishtailing like crazy, she barley missed hitting the pit
wall. She killed the engine and all the rest of the oil came gushing out
onto pit lane. Needless to say we bought the beer that night!!!
Cheers,

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, The SCCA frowns on oil being dumped on the
