[Tigers] Dry sump

[Larry Mayfield]

Yeah, if you want to use one of the large ones.  But sprint cars have small
ones, 6 inches or so in diameter and taller of course. Round square, several
types are available. Certainly do not want it in the cockpit with me, lol.
Oil burns...  And there are 2 stage pumps that work pretty well. Look at the
Corvette system. No external pump.

I would like to see all of that crammed into the engine bay. I would guess
you would put the tank in the trunk? Man what a nightmare with all the
plumbing... Still where there's a will... you know the rest.
