Does a wet sump system hold up pretty well on the five mile course? I know a 
dry-sump would be ideal but $$$. How about limiting oil to the rockers to try 
to keep oil in the pan?  In dragracing,I have done everything from pipecleaners 
in the pushrods(old timer trick) to the installation of restriction orfice in 
the oil galley. This works well for drag racing but FIVE MILERS... am I just 
being paranoid?
