UOP Background
This company ( Des Plaines, Illinois) was testing/researching the non use of lead ( a engine lubricant) in gasoline. They bought and drove cars 24/7 by high school and college kids over most conditions to see the effects of no lead gasoline, while at the pump, we all had lead gasoline. UOP, with big bucks $$$ then went racing big time with the " Shadow" racing team
