    so on the way to the meet last night my oil pressure sensor decided to snap off my block and drain my oil for about 5 miles. made it to the meet, made a quick trip to 24 hr autozone for supplies and a buddy at the meet helped it it plugged and up and running again. motor seems to be fine, no knocking or smoking so lets cross our fingers.
