There's no windage at idle and a lot less oil is being pumped (mine is at 25 psi at 900 rpm idle and the oil pump is spinning at a much slower speed) so there is no pooling issue beyond the normal amount in the exhaust cam cover as I see it. There's plenty of time for the oil to run down the big holes to the sump.
For the street driver it's probably better to get an Accusump so you can pre-oil before those 5 second dry start-ups and protect against oil starvation in the occasional long sweeper at 7000 rpm.
I have found that I drive my car much more gently after blowing out 2nd gear while showing off. It is getting pretty old and so am I.
