darren i believe racing oil pans are ok. since it's not adding any performance only helping keep the engine oiled. the for sure way to know is to email chuck or call the number in the rules.

I was told you cannot use them...

hmmm, I remember at the springport meeting chuck said they were ok. but if i'm wrong oh well. chuck can you chim in on this for the final word?

I used one all last season and it was never an issue. I will not have the same on there this year as it will not hold oil real well given the big hole in the side of it.

I think as long as it is a "stock style" racing pan it should be ok. nothing with a kick out or any other unusual shape.
