I am sitting here, enjoying the warm California morning sun which is putting my mind in spring mode and therefore into get-ready-for-the-track-mode

So I wanted to collect a few opinions what's the best oil level for the track

Thesis A) fill it up to the brim to avoid oil starvation in high g-force turns (I also have a LN engineering oil sump extension for that)

Thesis B) make it only half full to avoid flooding the AOS in high g-force long sweeping left turns

So what's your formula?
