Lister's: I'm writing a magazine article about Indy roadsters (Kurtis', Nov=

 Compounds, which had an oil additive product they were selling from the tr=

 chief test=A0driver for Studebaker the position of CEO of the newly acquir=

for certain the meaning of STP? I am getting mixed answers from=A0The Racin=

a few are saying it stands for Studebaker Test Products. Do any of the FOTe=
