[QUOTE="jbp99cobra, post: 8784786, member: 23462"] I was at VIR yesterday and it was a great day and had a lot of fun... especially when a 2009 Z06 owner asked me how the hell a mustang was keeping up with him:-D He would pull me in the straights, but I would be back on him in the turns. Anyways, I was on track with Kevin (brkntrxn) for open session and I lost power on the uphill esses. Kevin diagnosed it as a spun rod bearing as did my tuner this morning when I spoke with him. I believe it was due to oil starvation. I had a slight leak to begin with, but I guess it got worse throughout the day. It was my own fault that I didn't check it throughout the day. Since it was only a slight leak (to begin with) and I was running a canton pan, I didn't think too much of it. I checked the oil level today and it only came up 1/2 way on the dipstick. I still have great oil pressure and it will run (not well though), but it sounds like someone is hitting the bottom of the engine with a hammer. I washed the car, put it back on the trailer, threw a cover on it and put it in the garage. With a baby coming in December, the car will have to sit for a while before being rebuilt. So keep on posting your track day stories and videos so I can live vicariously through you guys!!! [/QUOTE]
