There is just no easy way for me to package it at this point. It has to be belt driven and I'm not just going to mount the big honkin tank on the firewall either. That can O worms just doesn't appeal to me right now. Unless I'm missing something....

All you need is a road race pan to control oil creep and slosh - so you don't run dry...

I agree with you - you add one thing and it's a can of worms that doesn't stop...

Nope you've got it nailed... yes belt driven, yes need a tank (does not have to be huge or on the firewall) I was actually close to going dry sump on my car, decided not to. I think they are a 'cool-techy' and make so much sense for the track . So I was just hoping I could live my dry sump fantasies through you..... (ouch- that sounds bad)
For sure it would open a can of worms on other things, but that was half the fun of seeing if I could get you to bite!

glad the dry sump idea has been killed. It would only be suited to the most hardcore of road racing prepped BBCs... You already have an accusump as insurance. You have to be doing some pretty impressive driving to NEED a dry sump.

Skip barber in 2010 Todd? I'm planning on it...

Definitely still on the agenda. The ladies at Spring Mountain still harass me on a regular basis. It's a 3 day in Corvettes over here, so that may be something to consider. I just need to figure out when and where. I was meaning to talk to you about your new milodon pan. What do you think of the quality?
