I'm not really sure why the roll hoop is so high, that's a good question. I'm not sure if that changed with the rest of the rules or what. Our older cars had the hoop a number of inches over the top of the helmet.

For the apparent simplicity, dry sump systems have a lot of failure points. It's not really a "bolt on and forget" type of thing, and the pump selection and supporting component selection is critical. Doesn't give you a damn thing in return for all your hard work except for cavitation safety. We usually just do a windage tray and trapdoor baffle setup instead of doing a really thorough dry sump design, and we've only blown one engine so far (the oil plug popped out of the end of a cam and dropped oil pressure to near-zero). Actually, we blew another engine because it overheated toward the end and decided to push it to the limit. Finished the race but it seized during cool down. I forgot about that one.
