They have track insurance for some events, usually with about 20% deductible and they cost the same as a track day.

You must have something for me . You keep comming....
Not my fault if you cant see the facts.

VVEL got damaged due to oil starvation that was caused from the big tank slapper and doing an additional 360 after the tank slapper happenned.

this is serious and yeah there a very big chance the vvel got damaged because of this ... it was not at a point on the track I was at full revs...
I took the exit at like 300feets from where it happenned..

I couldnt complete another 1-2 laps after I went back on the track when the car cooled down ...the vvel got broke at that point then I left the track and whem home driving the car at low speed then 200kms the oil pump exploded because of all the crap....

so yeah stop saying that I must be the only serious guy that track his Z because as far as I know there is quite a few on here . Mike.spoon.travisjb.bgtv and many other . So stop that crap on me .

I really don't have anything against you. I just found it stupid to say the oil pump is necessary when there are only a handful of failures. I am sure others have done tank slappers and they don't end up with blown motors. I think you just stressed the crap out of your motor when you ran it at 8000RPM. It's simple math.

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.
