Default Spinning a main bearing/rod bearing. Causes??

What's up guys?? I have an H23 with 157K miles on it. I plan on running my car kind of hard (at the track, not dragstrip) and I heard that it is not uncommon to spin a main bearing in H23 engines. How should I try to protect myself from this??
What RPM range should I confine myself to??

Thanks

lack of oil pressure and sudden high rpm are big causes of spun mains. like throwing it in 2nd at 6700rpm or someting u know
keep the rpm up to begin with and u should be straight.. maybe if uwant pull the pan and girdle and make sure everything still at stock torque specs... dont have toothough

the correct term is VTEC which is clearly labeled on the valve cover and all over this site, no dashes no h at the end, unless you're talking about the ever imfamous
