Actually, generally at the track for most vintage events you can get  
redline from Andy at Armadillo racing, or from the folks at  
competition Motorsports. redline works fine and costs about the same.  
but all this makes me feel particularly good about my Ceramic  
lifters. They might be spendy, but after a year of racing you can't  
tell the lifters apart from new ones, and the cam looks like someone  
polished it.
