Pocono Raceway - Oil starvation on F30s?

Has anyone run Pocono?
Clearly we don't have dry sump, but I'm wondering if our pans have baffles to combat this?
There's a HOD day at Pocono I'd really like to check out, but clearly don't want to hurt things!

What course at Pocono?

Seriously, you'll be fine. Unless of course your running slicks and a modified suspension and will be on the oval / banking for 20 seconds straight, then I might worry.

HOD is Hooked On Driving. They organize track days and are geared toward advanced and solo'd drivers IIRC.

Ok good, that's nice to know - they said the following regarding the course layout that day,
"We will be running the full track configuration originally designed by Hooked on Driving in 2013, combining all 3 of the infields to give you over 3.5 miles of long straights, fast curves, and tight turns in what is always an unbelievable experience."

So i'm assuming no banks?
The beginner section is sold out, so I'm hoping I can "qualify" as intermediate!
