Default Running slicks no oil pan baffle?

Well I have a event at gingerman raceway this monday. My Type R hatch with it's oil pan baffle and slicks will not be able to run due to a quirk oil psi problem I'm working on.

So I decided I would run my daily driver hatch with a stock b16 with bolt ons. My question is am I going to risk oil starvation running my toyo ra-1's? The motor rev's to stock. Do you think it would be ok from this one event?

Thanks for the help guys, I wasen't really looking forward to swapping out pans before the event. Worse case I'll use my almost bald falkens and work with what I have.

You'll be fine. What do you think most if not all IT cars use? A stock pan and Toyos or stickier tires. Some may play with pans or Accusumps but most are stock oiling.

Hmmm ran a z6 and a b16 there before on azenis with no starvation knock on wood. I know this sounds ghetto but would a 1/2 qt more oil help at all?

TODASI Lost a motor there as well due to no baffles. hmmm

yeah, even with baffles you should always run extra oil just to be sure.

Sounds good, I guess it's logic not ghetto. Well I think I'm selling my space off to a boosted buddy but I'll be there either way monday. Thanks for the help guys.
