steps you can take to prevent oil starvation at high-G forces on the track with track tires?

Things like running a baffled sump? Deeper Sump? Additional oil pick-ups? A device that mounts in the trunk and accumulates oil at pressure and then feeds it to the engine when it senses starvation (accusump)?

If you always keep oil between the metal parts, won't the engine temp be lower and the "water" have to work less hard to get rid of the heat?

I'm all for the third radiator and the bigger oil/water heat exchanger too, BTW. Just wondering if there aren't many preventative measures needed.
