That would be more like a NASCAR qualifying oil.
Yes, I heard that, but that's more like it for short periods, like 1/4 mile. I'd use a greater pan, with a lighter oil to race. Now, 70 weight oil is robbing about what? 200 hps or more, since the supercharger takes 750 hp just to blow the induction, half of that they could take oil from the oil drag?
They already have way more power than they could ever use, even with a perfect clutch set up, and perfect track conditions/traction, but if they dilute out the oil too much by the 330' mark, they will NOT finish the run.
