Crisco is so yesterday. All the guys at the track are running a mineral oil/Vaseline blend.

The only science is the observed results.

Btw is it true that Brad Pitt and Sean Penn formed this company, getting cheap crude from Hugo Chavez in exchange for their high profile left wing/ anti-capitalism rhetoric?

I thought not.

I am glad that the "ANYTHING NEW ON THE MOBIL 1 FRONT?" thread has given us all a good sense of humor and plenty of inside joke material.

Andreas - I think Mike is right. You want the mineral/Vaseline blend if you're running without belts.

Excellent. Thanks for setting me straight.
