[DeTomaso] ZDDP zinc oil additive

[Asa Jay Laughton]

I'm no story teller like Mad Dog.... but I gotta say...

The Dog started believing some of the stuff that gets posted in this 
forum.  Yup, he went out and bought some ZDDP additive from someone, I 
think it was Eastwoods.  Put a whole bottle of it in the Phoenix, and 
darned if it didn't hold him up through the whole Silver State Classic 
Challenge last September.  Pantera never ran better.  I was there, saw 
him pour it in, saw him cross the finish line.

Now if we would have shared with Dan Courtney.........
