30+ track days on my '99 Boxster with zero engine, smoke, or oil-related issues. Running 0W40 oil, 180 or 200 treadwear rated tires for all of them.

Strong believer in the sump and baffle shown in THStone's post. I ran for 2 years before doing anything with my oil system other than changing oil after each event. It was 28 days on track. The third year I started running Dot 100-A-A tires and added a similar kit. The 4th year I went to a LN block with all the bells and whistles. I have 44,000 on that motor and easily 50 % of that is on track with Dot 40 slicks.
