Default milky oil just changed

ok i just changed my oil 2 weeks ago and i went to the track made acoulpe passes and car ran 12:900 @ 105, 13:051@105, 13.366@ 102,right after this run is when the milky oil **** started to show up in the oil, it wasn't on the oil stick it was on the cap where you put the oil in it was all milky. then it ran 13:210@ 101, 13:208@ 101mph.

im going to change the oil but could something be clogged? everytime i take the car out it runs in the 12:80-90's right off the trailer then it slows down then it will start to get faster. its a bitch to try and dial the car in when one pass it goes in the 12's then next in the 13's. anyone have any idea what might be causing this problem?

oh yeah i forgot the oil i use is pennzoil 10w30 and k&n filter.

Are you loosing coolant? When you change the oil, if it comes out all milky your probly loosing a head gasket. If every thing is fine its probly just condensation under the cap and no big deal. I used to live in greensburg PA and with all the humidity thats not uncommon. How humid has it been lately?

if you make a lot of short trips in your car, where it does not reach operating temperature, then you'll get the sludge in the cap.

75-85% humidity i would say. short trips for my car would be from the trailer to the staging lanes then the wait to run. i cant get my 60ft down ither the quickest 60ft i had was a 1.85 when i ran a 12.900 today the rest are in the 1.9 60ft would the humidity be killing my 60fts?

I noticed this on my vette yesterday on a 10k mile rebuild.. had me worried but I figured it was condensation too due to the weather changing. My coolant isnt low so I guess its ok

Install a catch can into your pcv system, that might help.
