Question Oil Slosh/Burning

I have PM'd urbanknight about this and I am wondering if anyone else is having the same problem. After an autocross run that ends with some sort of chicane/abrubt manuever, my Lancer will burn some oil at high revs at the beginning of the the next run or if I rev it up to 4-5K rpm. I cannot replicate this any other time except after an autocross run. It is not using any oil, the plugs look good, and the oil shows no sign of contamination, and it is not overheating.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. The warranty is still good as it only has 9800 miles. Thanks.

Jason

Remember, this car isn't meant to be tossed around. There's no chamber baffling in the oil pan so it's free to slush around wherever after going through some automotive gymnastics.
