Erratic Oil Pressure Over 6k RPM

So I noticed on my last track day my oil pressure would climb to almost 80, then after 6k would fall off and go all erratic bouncing between high 40's-mid 60's. It kind of freaked me out, so I started short shifting and backed it down. Anyone else with a gauge notice similar behavior? My oil was on the low end of the dipstick but I can't imagine that is enough to cause that. Oil temps never went beyond 220-230 range. Ambient temp was about 60, highest coolant temp I saw was 208. Pulling oil pressure from the factory sensor location on the front of the left side of the timing cover. Was using RP 5W-30. Going to 300V on my next oil change.
