Bleed the system and take it easy in practice, and match revs when shifting... and gamble... or don't do the race...

Jesus I don't get it. I know it's been said before that Pentosin is flammable, however I tried setting it on fire with open flame - no go. It wouldn't burn. Let's discuss...

Yup, I did the same exact thing... Then I was told by one of the techs at Synergy that the stuff has a high flash point, but could easily be set off by a catalytic converter or turbo.

Glad it worked out! I just caught my first pentosin leak too....just a few drips on the garage floor -- my slave cylinder must've failed at the track too. Getting everything replaced and should have the car back early next week. Maybe I should've gone with this GT2 replacement. hmmmm
