Depends upon what you're racing....

Stock SV motor, we ran full synthetic

Superbike SV motor, we run organic to get the clutch to hook up.

Oil is good.  What you use...

Well, there are differences across the board.  There are petroleum products that have a better film strength than full synthetics.  Just because it is a semi or full synthetic, it does not necessarily make it better than all petroleums.  

That's marketing.
