Default "Catch Can" to solve venting problem? Anyone done this?

i take my '98 Z28 to open track events at a road course about 6 times a year...for the last 6 months, toward the end of a 20 minute session, they blackflag me cause the tranny fluid heats up enough to come out the vent tube, then gets on the exhaust causing a smoke cloud behind me

it doesn't ever happen with normal driving....i have a tranny cooler and my shop checked everything out and says it's all normal....they suggested i install a "catch can" to stop the fluid from getting down onto the exhaust

1) anoyone ever had this problem?
2) anyone ever solved it with a catch can?
3) who sells them?

thanx

moroso sells a trans catch can, I used them sometimes on hard leaving powerglide cars with deep pans. You can also run a deep pan with a lowered pickup to go with it and run it a quart or so lower, might get you by..
