OK, yeah we run a total loss system, ie we run enough battery that we don't 
need onboard charging. I really wonder how much power it would take to drive 
the dry sump punp......now you got me thinking.....Jim and Bernie will tell you 
that's dangerous!

find some good numbers with a little research in my library. A "total loss" 
electrical system is frequently used when converting a "street" engine for 
(non-"endurance") racing.  It consists of running the battery without an 
on-board charging system (which consumes power), and doing your charging in the 
pits. I'll see if Dave or someone offers some numbers for lube system power 
consumption; if not, I'll see what I can find.Russ, #1226B
