Dry sump and lubrication og the cam/lifters

[fastback]

can this be an issue?
i asume "lube-a-lobe" style lifters with lube hole in the lifter's surface are recomended for this application?

I ran dry-sump on circletrack race motors for years without a single cam/lifter failure (with conventional lifters). Must be an ample supply of lubrication thrown off the crank...
The running oil level in a wet-sump engine is well below the cam anyway.

yeah lot's of people run drysump without any issues.
have'nt checked where the oil level lines up in the WBX engines, but thought maybe the lobes dipp'ed into the oil

took a quick look at it tonight and the oil level seem's to reach pretty high accordign to the dipstick.

when its running hte level drops, BUt that is still pretty high, a bit more than i thought.
