Post Run Shut Down Process

jspell:
Do most people "click engine off" then "neutral" the transmission after the finish line?  Your thoughts?

dreracecar:
Depends on if you drive it back to your pit or not?
 But in any case always shut the engine off by pulling the fuel shutoff first

Thanks Bruce...I'm a gas carb guy. My reason for asking is it a good practice to save the motor from potential oil starvation.

dreracecar:
If the first thing is to put the trans into "N", the risk of still being on the throttle when you do that is greater and one has to figure car speed also. My situation was/is different because I had a hand brake instead of a foot brake so the right hand was really busy.
 There is enough oil remaining in the galleys and dripping from being slung around that for a few seconds without gauge pressure (and no load)is really not that big of a deal. Milodon pans are notorious for slosh problems, but never had a bearing issue because of it

jspell:
Thanks for feedback
