I swear I am going to get a license and join the fun.  Probably swap the 
TR6 for an Alfa so I have a chance at the under 2 liter group.  Had to 
build a deck in Tacoma, so missed the event this last weekend. Damn!!

TR6's in big bore have no chance -- though Charlie enjoys the fun.  I am 
doing a track day at Seattle this coming weekend.  Did one two weeks ago 
with  brand new pistons, oil pump and Accusump.  Experienced low oil 
pressure.  Would start cold at 50 pounds, but go to 25 after a few 
laps.  Took out and cleaned the oil pressure by-pass.  Not sure it has 
made any difference.  Thinking of  making the bypass not work at all 
[always shut.  Any repercussions of this?

My oiling is as follows: from engine to filter to cooler to check valve 
to "T".  One side of "T" goes to a nother "T" that supplies the accusump 
and is also directly plumbed to number one cylinder oil galley.  Other 
side of fist "T" goes back to the oil filter and into the engine.
