Default oil pressure issue!

So I have a 2000 z28 with 90,xxx miles on it, started autocrossing this year after my third or forth run when the car is hot my oil pressure will drop to 0-10lbs and I can hear tapping. I shut it down over night and pressure is back up to 50-60lbs. What's bugging me is its only happening when car is very hot. So far tried amsoil 5-30 and 10-40 no help ordered oil temp gauge to see what temps are getting to. Need help hooked on autox but need to get this fixed before next run.
