EDIT: just checked on that thread, and looks like there were issues at quick sweepers? Himm perhaps we should put in a baffle (if pickup is having hard time sucking oil). That's probably oil sloshing around in the pan, and not necessarily tied as much to high Gs in a way..

Thanks for grabbing that data!
This post has some follow on testing and a side by side video of a car with a baffle. tldr - baffle didn't seem to help much, and it isn't necessarily transition causing slosh. It is pretty consistent in hard right hand corners.
The lateral acceleration your car is seeing _should_ be causing orders of magnitude more starvation if it is, in fact, starvation related to lateral acceleration. I still have my doubts on that, but nothing that I could back up with a rational explanation.
A logging setup on your car would be amazing, but even that never happens my original thought with getting some data on your car is if your car is surviving, then I personally am not too worried that the drop is anything other than an observation at this point. If the car survives well enough and always returns good UOA, then w/e with the drop lol. It probably happens way more often than people are aware, but most of us don't have a sensor/gauge, or a gauge that is sampling frequently enough to spot it.
