They are most likely using an Accusump in that class due to rules. Bandaid? yes.

The LT1 cars were notorious for this, but Canton fixed that.


There are 3 solutions to this problem:

Drysump
Accusump
New pan


Dont try to re-invent the wheel by playing with a stock pan.


But what do I know? You guys have been Open tracking your cars for how long now? How many of the DARN guys have lost a motor to oil starvation?

You see one or two people who have a failure, and you get all worried.

You have a good point. You can thank Glenn, for the anxiety.

The thought process was the typical "while it's out, might as well _____ "

The blank is usually filled in with $$$$$
