I was never good at math so I couldn't be a club official. The dry sump system is complex and expensive. However it offers absolute control of oil temps and oil pressure. You can run negative pressures in the crank case. You can store the oil in remote locations, away from the driver. (NASCAR likes the trunk) You need only enough pan to cover the crank and no deeper. The only situation where oil pressure could be lost, is an inverted car. All professional series that I have had contact with run dry sumps. All formula cars use them just for ground clearance.
