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!

requirement for the lube system "off the top of my head", but I can probably 
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
