Sumps

Most of the Stohr DSRs and DSRs in general do not run the Dry Sump due to weight. The rules for DSR specify a minimum weight of 900 lbs with driver and the Stohr WF1 is very difficult to bring to minimum without significant expenditure. The extra weight from the dry sump isnt deemed necessary with the wet sump pans that have been designed.

The other major bike engined car class in the states is F1000 (or FB). Opened wheeled, 1000 cc, but at a minimum weight of 1000 lbs with driver. I just sold my Stohr F1000 this past year. Several of the drivers in that series opt for the dry sump as they have a few pounds to give.
