I just ran the Silver State Classic. I went 145 Mph for 90 miles and when I got under the car to strap her down to the trailer I noticed oil on the axel, suspension and bottom of where the spare tire would be. There was enough that some dripped down onto the trailer. Does anyone have insight on to what this could be before I take it in? I had to go right to work and havent had a chance to really get under there yet. Friend ran the race too and says he has less oil but the same problem. He also told me this was related to oil being released from the rear due to heat/high pressure. Some sort of realease valve on top of the axel? Could this be true.

Yes. Pull the fill plug and check your fluid level. The fluid should be right at the bottom of the fill plug. Add some 75W-140 Synthetic if needed. A standard swivel head ratchet or a ratchet with a short extension will fit the plug. The swivel head works best cause there's not much room and the plug is tight.
