Oil got under the left slick and turned the car right. I tried to steer out of it, but I was there just for the ride. I thought I was going to roll the car twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before all of the armchair racers and mechanics say that I must have put on the oil filter too tight, it had the seal oiled and was put on hand tight. Baldwin has very thick rubber seals and maybe shouldn&#8217;t go on 1,000 hp motors. Back to Wix 51515R.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The car has a bent frame now, so it won&#8217;t be a quick repair for that or easy finding 60-year-old Body parts. I have a sore left thumb, neck, lower back, right hip and right shoulder &#8211; but that&#8217;s racing.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasthug.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/imagejpeg-0_1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.texasthug.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/imagejpeg-0_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1755\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasthug.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/imagejpeg-0.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.texasthug.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/imagejpeg-0.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1756\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasthug.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG-1383-6-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.texasthug.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG-1383-6-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1770\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasthug.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG-1381-6-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.texasthug.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG-1381-6-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1769\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On my third Time Trial pass, the thick rubber gasket on a Baldwin B2 oil&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1960,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oldhippie.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1959"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oldhippie.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oldhippie.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oldhippie.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oldhippie.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1959"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/oldhippie.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1959\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1961,"href":"https:\/\/oldhippie.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1959\/revisions\/1961"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oldhippie.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oldhippie.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oldhippie.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oldhippie.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
