Steve: We had this issue in CVAR last year. A production car that did not come
with a dry sump from the factory is reclassified and will run with the next
higher group. In this case it lumped a Lotus Elan with Corvettes and Jags. Fine
on a twisty course, but dangerous on a big track like TWS with a driver of his
caliper. The owner promptly installed a wet sump. - Ed

Steve,
I think most cars in the east that run vintage appear to be built to SVRA
specs. SVRA GR reads "Wet sump may not be converted to dry sump."

FWIW, Les Gonda just built an MGBGT-V8 that is dry sumped.
