Re: Dry Sump Musings

   A wet sump top fuel dragster oiling system is an amaising thing . The
accereration makes it like running the engine in a nearly vertical position .
Was it Don Garlits who originated the idea of running with 12 quarts in the
pan . No air , no bubbles .
   Even .5 g acceleration is like having the engine tilted up at 26.5 deg
which would have the rear counterweights and rods splashing in the oil with a
stock depth oil pan .
