Think of the pressure required to burn diesel without an ignition source...

..it's only a danger on a track since the rex is laying a film of oil at sustained high rpm's.

I'll be there. Finally got a car that I can expect to run long enough to get to the end without blowing a motor or a waterpump. Though I should check here after hearing about it on the Subie forums. I looked at the maps and anything having to do with 360 is a bad idea since the traffic volume there is so much greater. I like the big ring. Any old school DFW folks going to show that I might still know? Its been years since I have seen anyone.
