Happened much worse one day at autocross, usually connected to high G cornering.

Smoke clears up and goes away. The autocross one was definitely worse but not on video. Was a big cloud.

Would this be head gasket or just some oil getting past somehow?

How high was your oil level? I made the mistake of topping up to the top of the dipstick (H level) prior to an autocross day, and with the heat from the runs, it started blowing lots of smoke after the oil expanded.

It's definitely that. Sounds like an oil catch can would do the trick.

Isn't there a sticky about this? its after a hard left or right into another hard turn in the opposite direction. Oil gets caught in the galley/plate thingy in the valve cover and gets sucked out. A catch can would fill up in just a few laps. Need to drill some holes.

Yes there is a sticky in the Racing section^

Hey, I was pitted in front of you. Silver w/ orange hardtop and wing.
I used to push through a lot of oil at AMP, can was the first step but I overfilled it in a couple sessions. Popped holes in the valve cover as shown, still pushed through oil. Plugged both ends of the PCV and changed the can to vent to atmosphere, rather than have a vac pulled on it by the intake and I now see about half a cup per day in the can.

Anyhow, I recommend you come out to Chuckwalla -- very fun, flowing track. NASA will be there in February.
