Steer clear of Frams

[motogo1]

I don't disagree, having low oil pressure in my 200 attributed  to a Fram
filter. But I think it is kind of funny, I was at the National drag races
this weekend in NJ, and while walking the pits and checking the Really Big
HP machines, what do I see sticking out of a mega bucks nitro top fuelers
engine...A big ole Fram filter.
    Want a little bigger fuel pump? They said the fuelers put out 65 gallons
per minute!!
Oh, and top speed there was 330.7 mph and e.t. 4.48 seconds. Sorry, got a
little off track.
