question on dry sump lubrication

[engatwork]

I noticed that the new Ford GT has a dry sump lubrication type engine. This is the type that top fuel dragster runs too. Can someone explain to me how it works? I did talk with one of the salesmen at the display booth at a drag race one time and he told me that they are not real practical for street cars because of the drawn out procedure for putting it into service prior to starting the engine. Surely the new GT is not going to have something that prevents a person fron getting in, turning the key and driving away. I think the engine in the GT would be a good one for the W123 chassis car seeing as how it is a dry sump engine. You eliminate the interference issue with the oil pan and frame cross support.
thanks
