How in the hell do you check your oil level with a set-up like this? Or even with the factory -6 set-up?

I use a wood dowel and mark it with a sharpie where you like it.
Also I like to run a heat strip on the tank to plug it in when the temps get a little low at the track, takes a lot less time to warm all that oil up and less risk of spiking the oil pressure on cold start/warm up. |

I've heard of heating the oil pre start before. Do you do this on every startup? Just morning?? Is there an outside temp where you think its not necessary? I live in south Florida, wonder if i need it? |

Plug it in when we get to the track, unplug before our first run and good for the day. Engine needs to be up to temp before we stress it under load, so this is the quickest way to get a head start on it...saves fuel from not having to sit as long idling to warm up. You can barely see it around the middle/bottom of the tank.  |
