Has anybody ever autocrossed without a deep oil sump and not had a problem with oil starvation? Due to a parts combination, I may have to lose mine, but I won't do so if it's gonna cost me an engine. I've got an external oil cooler so I've got plenty of capacity, but I just don't want it to starve under side loads. Asking for the benefit of others' years of experience. Thanks.

it wasnt till I got into instructing alot that I noticed that OK was not really OK. the oil presure would flicker and twitch before the idiot light would come on. as a driver, we only have time to glance at teh gauge long enough to see it showed presure. it was starving, ya'll were just a little busy to notice
