Tiger,
If Rick Lake spent more time at the race track instead of the car shows he would know that in a lot of racing series dry sumps are not allowed.
It is unfortunate that you had a problem with your engine but rods can let go in the best of engines built by the best builders. Nascar engines which are all dry sump are not immune to oiling troubles.
Once you get your engine repaired make sure you put in a Accusump and cross your fingers every time you hit the track.
Blown engines are part of the price of Open tracking. Of course you could always play it safe and go to car shows and offer advise to the track guys.
