Smoke in the Exhaust

I'm just concerned about one thing. Is it normal for this car to blow a lot of smoke when your racing it? I notice that a lot of smoke (oil burning ? ) when I was at the track. I know the car is pumping out ****loads of exhaust, but my STi doesn't blow that much smoke. Is this normal ? My SRT-4 did, but I installed a catch can between the PVC and the throttle body, and that fixed that! Just wondering...

If its black when you step on it......normal. Other color ex, thick white grey... not good.

Can't tell, but the tip gets a black on it. I notice it in the other guys headlights
That's a good thing, as long as i'm not seeing his in my headlights

Will one of thos Perrin Catch Cans solve the problem ? I was doing some search on Oil Burning in the intake .. etc...

Yeah, if its white grey that could be ?? Water / Coolent?
I just notice that it pumps out some smoke when your racing. My srt-4 was the same way until i installed a catch can. Now it burns much cleaner, tips don't blacken near as much.
