Default Baffled Breather

I deleted the PCV and wondered what people were doing for track cars, the normal breather I installed where the oil fill cap would be is puking oil out of it. Is there a baffled breather or a different valve cover with a baffle in it for this sort of thing?

I have seen this kind of setup on road race cars as well. You could also use an air pump to suck out the crankcase pressure ... or just use breather filters instead of what I used.

Does it burn oil out the exhaust from the Mr. Gasket kit?

If there is a lot of oil coming out. On some setups they install a catch can in between the breather and the check valve welded on the header collector. This traps the oil and only allows the crankcase fumes to be pulled out and "burned".

I've got a pcv valve in the drivers side valve cover, with a hose comming off of it. On the passengers side, I just have a hose comming off the valve cover. Seems to work good.

So it's open air vented? Please describe in a little more detail, thanks.
