Yeah, that’s fine, you dirt actually won’t hurt the bulbs, because it’s likely to fall off. Oil, however, whether it be from your hands or another source, is what will kill the bulb. ---

Thanks Mike…but when you finally have a chance to check it out, i won’t be able to lol…i’m leaving tomorrow afternoon for Daytona Bike Week and won’t be back until next Sunday…but i’ll definitely take you up on that offer once i get back! > [@theblue](#): > > white Z vs. red Z. coming this summer? :ohnoes: > [@Onyx Z32](#): > > If he brings it to Dunnville :tup: > > Although I’d recommend adding [THIS](http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=technical&msg_id=1019112) to your to-do list for the car if you plan on tracking it, Andy. That’s the first i’ve ever heard of that problem…i don’t surf [TT.net](http://TT.net) that much just because i really CAN’T STAND the format/layout of the site itself…but that’s a pretty interesting read. I won’t be all that competitive at Dunville this year since i’ll still be on stock 19 year old suspension lol…and stock brakes…this year all my time and Z funds are going into the build/go fast toys… But i’d definitely like to give Dunville a go at least once or twice this year…i’ll let ya walk all over me there if you like…and you should make the trip to NYIRP once or twice :eekdance: ---
