Default Throwing oil out of valve covers

I gave the ole FE Cobra a good thrashing this weekend in Omaha's (Council Bluffs, Iowa) Mid-America race track. Nothing broke and I couldn't be happier with my set up BUT...

I am throwing oil out of my right side valve cover breather cap. Makes a real mess under my hood but other than the mess there doesn't seem to be any other problems.

I am running K&N valve cover filters and at the rear of my manifold I am running another stack type breather I bought from Finish Line. I am not running a PCV and don't want to either. Question is: Are there any of you FE RACERS that have a particular PUKE TANK set up that you found to work well.

The only time I have this problem IS ON THE RACE TRACK. Hard braking from 130 mph straight aways and taking slow corners at 60 mph and faster corners at 90+ mph

Any ideas??
