No Chris, drysumps aren't necessarily evil, just EXPENSIVE. You are correct
sir, there are several deep pans for roadracing but that doesn't mean they
work. Lots of stuff sold via info-mercials proves product don't need to be
effective to be sold. You missed "the point" of what I was saying. Its all
about price and feasability. If you have to order a pan, then take the
bike motor to your local shop have a "roadrace" pan installed you have
started down an expensive path. Again, If you have to order a high volume
pump for your new snazzy pan or an entire dry sump system, you're then at or
above the cost of one our current engines. That was my point. And yes, we
can move on......but its easier to move with an engine that has oil.

for motorcycle auto road racing applications.... Drysumps are not nessicary

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.
