Steve, others again, there are several purpose built non drysump pans out there for motorcycle auto road racing applications.... Drysumps are not nessicary evil. Can we move on???
CR Steven Dodd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Gentlemen, The oil pan debate (stock vs deep vs pressurised/accusump) is a perfect example of the crazy path that some are venturing down. Jay just heralded in favor of a "deep oil pan" to keep it "cheap" . C'mon, wake up this is a great example of immediate departure from stock bike motors and thus, bigger dollars. And, to Chris R, our cars are not micro sprints. We turn left, right and brake. We cant just go with a deep pan and call everything good. Most GT cars run pressurised systems because of the danger of starvation. You think we pull less cornering forces than they do? If you don't see the dangers of this soon becoming a high dollar class READ your GCR . Now moncoques are allowed. Bike engines maybe next. I bet Lee Stohr can build you a heck of a monocoque bike motor car if you pony up the necessary bucks. I bet Jay would too. Be thankful that your current cars are faster and lighter than anything else under 35k new. Go have some fun. Steven Dodd Texas --------------------------------- Food fight?
