I had the fastest West on Highway 30 West about three years ago.
At 85 MPH it went Diesel on me, started blowing oil (lucky my rear window
was clean, lot of it wound up there) the oil light didn't come on for
another five minutes. I collapsed the ring lands on # 4 cylinder, scored
the cylinder, broke a couple of rings on other cylinders.
I put a quart of oil in every 35-40 miles and drove it 250 miles home.
Sure broke them tailgaters.

This little racing trip cost me about $400.00 in parts and twenty hours
sweat equity.
