All you need to do is clamp or plug your PCV valve during the track event. The valve cover will still be vented via the large diameter vent at the front of the valve cover.
Looks like I'll just throw a catch can on before my next event and vent to atmosphere.

I've been running an AP2 valve cover for a few years and had just as much trouble with oil suction as with the AP1 cover. I ended up going with simply venting my catch can to atmosphere through a filter. I pulled way too much oil from all the vents when connected to the intake (either before or after the throttle plate).

I'm sort of surprised you are still having those issues with an 06. I thought they mostly fixed those problems with the valve cover redesign.
If want a little more than a tin can catch can you run this for about $600 for stage 1 and 2.

I saw that catch can setup and while it's nice, holy moly that's a lot of coin for a little tank with some hoses. I'll likely just buy this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181073056374

The day after a track weekend is such a hangover, ESPECIALLY the last one of the season
So just planning ahead to make me less depressed, the next tires I get, should I get:
a) BF Goodrich Rivals - $808
b) Bridgestone RE-11 - $728
c) Dunlop Star Specs - $704
d) Hankook RS-3 - $624
e) Kuhmo Ecsta XS - $656
f) Toyo R1R - $780
I know Jim gave one vote for the Rival. So many tires, so little track time to try them all out.
