that's your option.

OK read carefully now I'm repeating something and making it short for you.
My opinion and fact is after that tank slapper/360, I went back into the pit, cooled down, when back up on the track doing a warm up and couldn't even finish it, so what is the most probable issue there ? 99% chance is Oil Starvation you cannot deny it. that's a fact of how it happened to ME.
CAN YOU FK UNDERSTAND THAT ?

like BGTV nicely said;''Tread you own path, make your own decisions.''
The OP basically asked our opinion, mine isn't good ? yours is better ?

so who's stupid now.

now target somebody else who mentioned about other less/more expensive preventive safety measures.

I'm done with you kid.

Running full race (longer duration events, full slicks), then an Accusump is the minimum insurance, but serious amateur or semi-pro competition then the only solution is a dry-sump system.

I track my car regularly, use Yoki A048 or Dunlop DZ03G R-Spec's, and once a year run in a 6-hour relay where duration is 30-minutes and I do not get surge with a JWT sump extender, oil cooler and an additional litre of oil in the engine.

However, if I was "racing", I'd install a Dailey Engineering dry-sump.

Tread you own path, make your own decisions.
