Most people don't take theirs to the track. That's where failures occur. How often is someone at 8k rpm on the street?

the somebody else is probably me,
Yeah I blew the oem oil pump last year, in the very beginning we thought about the oil pump was the problem but after review of the event and datalog.
The verdict was the engine got oil starvation for half of a second which did a lot of damage to one of the VVEL head.

I limped back home then 200kms later the oil pump blew in thousand pieces !
