track day sump / baffle question
Discussion
Hi All.
Looking to do a few more track days with my classic.
Not loads but a few a year at goodwood, thruxton, coombe etc (dB permitting)
I am looking into sump options and its a bit of a minefield on Scoobynet and NASIOC.
I can not afford a dry sump option which is the only fully protective way to go as money is an issue at the mo (wifes off on maternity)
So the options I am considering are:
Baffled sump such AS performance (Alyn) Group N clubman sump £150.
RCM baffle plate - http://rogerclarkmotorsport.co.uk/store/product/21...
KillerB windage tray - http://www.killerbmotorsport.net/oiling-products/o...
Tomei universal baffles - http://www.redlineperformance.co.nz/products/engin...
As said I know it will not fully protect but hopefully it will help to minimise surge etc.
Anyone with TRACK experience of the above?
Thanks
Steve

Hi all.
Thanks for the replies.
I'm currently on Prada spec 2 and this is what I will be running at thruxton IF i do the track day but will be swapping to Nankang NS2R for next year after seeing their results on a recent trip to the ring.
I have an oil pressure gauge that I will be monitoring but think due to current funds my options are these:
option 1 - get the newer 2.5/sti sump which has a better design to keep oil near the pick up and have this modified by AS performance (alyn) and run an extra 1/2 litre oil. combine this with the killer b baffle plate to help minimise blow by into the heads. fit an oil catch can. Total approx £200-250
Do the track day whilst monitoring my oil presure and catch can levels.
option 2 - not do track day. Save up for a full baffled sump and wait until next year to track (wife on maternity until end Oct so were down on funds).
I only own the car for a bit of cheap fast road fun and on the face of it (before research )though it would be a fun little track car due too some of its other mods but am no rethinking.
