Apparently, if you use too much oil it can be fed into the intake and coat some of the sensors causing them to misread. Dry filters you can clean with a good shake and some low psi compressed air.
gotcha!

You forgot to mention that dry filters have a tendency to break apart and get sucked into the engine.
is that true?

the internets says this could happen if a paper filter gets soaked. R2C is a washable synthetic material filter.

btw, from a random internet search, NASCAR apparently uses dry filters:

K&N Releases Air Filters for NASCAR Truck & Busch Series Racers

"NASCAR rules require air filters in order to race. K&N's new 2-ply cotton un-oiled filters meet NASCAR requirements. "The 2-ply cotton works the same as our 4-ply," said Maier. "It just allows more air to flow."
