    I've been racing an M20 in the pacific NW for the last 9 years, long left sweepers when using the stock oil pan, no baffle, caused OP to drop into the 20psi range for a few seconds, then it would recover. I ran it like that for years.

    Others racing M20s in the Pacific NW would race for years at Pacific Raceways, Portland Intl Raceway, Spokane Race, Mission Raceway(BC), no trouble.

    One trip to Thunder Hill in CA, and the next race, their bottom end goes boom.
    As a group (ICSCC) we stopped racing Thunder Hill a few years ago.

    Pacific Raceways is left hand, Portland Intl Raceway is right hand, Thunder Hill is a little bit of everything.

    DE track runner here...and during the short lt hndr at lime rock I get to see 5-10lbs on the m20...

    so when you say 20lbs.....either that is wrong...or you are slower than you think!!!!...lol

        I do a few auto X here and now. Each time i have gone I just fill it a 1/2 quart over like everyone else. I haven't had any problems yet.

            I appreciate the info.......and Ill ssume you are a hi level driver that has good speed....



            By making these assumptions I can avoid buying the baffle and save some cash...lol


            But if are a slow driver....your info is useless.

              Didn't get any good lap times for the Glen as I recall. Did the CR school at Ofest. Turning 1:37s at Road Atlanta but I only have a stock Euro so that is a good 8 seconds off the fast CM guys. Decent lap time not great.
