I've never had any smoke on startup, so perhaps its a symptom of the high speed and G's getting the oil into places where it ends up getting into and past the AOS into the Throttle Body more readily.

Many folks racing seem to need solutions for that, some are putting other types of AOS with separate oil drain/catches into the trunk etc
If you have ever seen someone try to do this, you would understand what a mess it can be, just dump the filter housing.
