09/18/10Damage Oil leak worsened
Raced a buddy, in acceleration(he out accelerated but i had more top end...) stopped at 95mph but had more to go...

Oil leak at rear main now leaves a puddle of oil where ever you park it... high rev really increased the leak... sorta. It didn't puddle before, but i still loose the same quantity for the same mileage. Strange.
