Most Harleys feed oil directly to the floor under them.
I love that quote
But, there was at least one MC that did it intentionally. It was a Speedway bike, Jawa, I think. Very fun MC racing, to watch! The dry sump supplied oil to the engine and that oil was then allowed to exit, to the dirt track.
The application to "modern V8s" is most often associated to the late Chet Herbert (rip)
He was also called the "Father of the roller cam". In those days, "modern V8" was omitted but, for sure, he was the first mass supplier of after market roller cams. He was always a innovator and a hands on racer, even though he had to use a wheel chair.
I used one of his roller cams in my LR 427, in '69, more than 50 years ago. Here is a picture of his dual, aluminum 215 engined dragster. Note how he coupled the engines, front to front. Also pictures of his 64.5 Gram, FE lifter.
