Flord Performance

Not long ago, I was racing at one of my favorite events, the HSR Savannah weekend, when a guy walked up to my pit area. He was obviously attracted by my TR3, and after looking the car over for a minute, he told me that back in the mid-’60s he crewed for a car that looked just like mine. When he told me that the car belonged to John Taylor, my heart skipped a beat. I quickly told him that this was, in fact, the very same car.

Once you go beyond price, location and bathroom cleanliness, does where you fuel up really matter? It actually can, explains Zachary J. Santner, senior specialist of quality at Sunoco. Fuel Matters: The top end of an engine can be a dirty, sludgy place, especially once you add crankcase gases to the mix. That mist of blow-by and oil vapors present inside the crankcase? Unless the car is really old or something has been modified, it sends that dirty air back into the combustion chamber.
