...The box has the NHRA logo and they don't say anything anywhere that their standard oil filters can't or shouldn't be used on a HP motor. That is misleading!!!!!!
I think most judges (or at least the ones I have dealt with) take offense to the average Joe presenting his case. I get the impression that their attitude is if you're going to present your case (in HIS courtroom) you need to know everything about courtroom procedure and the law. I had to take a car lot to small claims court and my lawyer told me I should just present my case without his help, that it would be a slam dunk. I didn't feel good about doing that and talked him into going with me. I won and I know it sounds cliche' but it was about principle and not a matter of spending anything I would collect on legal fees. It sure felt good.
I don't think it matters if it was used on a hp application. The problems I have ran into with them was on stock daily drivers.
