Exploded the oil filter.

2nd pass of the evening, just as I let out of the accelerator in the traps it let go. Needless to say my testicles jumped straight up into my throat. Nothing like having a big ol' cloud of oil and smoke at the end of the run paired with the oil pressure warning coming on. The whole left side of my car was dripping with fresh Mobil1, tires and wheels, door, rear quarter, rear bumper, etc. It pumped out 5 qts in less than 5 seconds at 120+ mph. I shut it off as quick as I could. I had to leave the track to go and get another filter and oil. Filled it back up and the engine is doing fine. Lucky for me the run was over when it happened.

Unfortunately I didn't get another run in. Had to get an A/C Delco filter and standard Valvoline to fill it back up. I'll get another Mitsu filter Monday and put Mobil1 back in it.

Anyway, 2nd pass was the best so far.

11.86 @ 122.1 mph. Slow 1.97 60 ft on the pass.

Still doing some tuning and would have done more tonight, but,..............
