"The teams are in agreement with us, we need to find a solution for these oildowns," said Clifford. "If we can cut out the oildowns or greatly reduce them, that's crucial, and can change this sport overnight. It not only impacts those sitting in the stands but could impact our live television broadcasts. The oildowns have to stop from sportsman to professional racers."

"One of those ideas, Clifford said, includes an oil pan pressure switch aimed at shutting down the engine at abnormally high readings."

So, John Force is ahead of Del Worsham at 900' at a track. Force's oil pan pressure switch alarms and shuts down the engine. Worsham passes him to win the race and knocks Force out of the countdown to the championship.
Sounds like an excellent idea to improve reliability and competition to me.
