You may want to consider a larger oil pan, or a pan spacer in order to gain that extra qt. for added piece of mind. I've personally met three different people who blew their engines at tracks due to the same issue.

Do they make a baffled oil pan? This would stop the starvation from sloshing.

5W3O, MOBIL 1!!! Also, try slowing down a bit, kid! Saves gas, makes tires last longer & reduces risk of an accident. Going back to the oil part, oil flow is more important than viscocity; try the easier-flowing 5W3O, or even OW3O--
you'll be grateful to this old-timer when you shift to either of those grades.
There's a SUPER thread (I FORGOT THE NAME!), which explains it SOOO well,
m'friend! But, trust me, I went from 1OW3O, to 5W3O: NO regrets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
