The only oil we have experienced that will stay alive at these temperatures has an additive package thats depleted after only 750 miles of service.. It has to be changed every 750 miles, or generally after just one track weekend.

Thats the problem.. True race oils are exactly that, they have no lifespan.

OK, so I'll add an oil change to the list of things (bleed brakes, change pads, install rollbar, etc.) to the list of things before a track day - I can live with that
What oil is it?

Jake. Very interseting stuff. Is there a theory as to what exact mechanism is causing the loss of oil pressure at elevated temperatures? It is not entirely clear me unless it has to do with oil pump efficiencies/effectiveness under less viscous conditions. Would your transducer placement potentially play a role in the trends you see ?'

Just got the X51 oil pan and deep sump spacer installed this morning. Accusump is too much for what I need since I don't foresee putting R-comps on and I am not that skillful to push the car to its full cornering limit yet.
