Default LS1 oil starvation on track

I have an NA Miata with BossFrog LS1 conversion. I believe the oil pan is stock LS1. When driving on Sebring race track today I experienced oil starvation in corners. I believe the oil pan baffling is insufficient for repeated high G-loads. What is the best oil pan for LS1/BossFrog subframe for a race car?

Update 1/31: I am surprised not to have received any responses.. I have looked at the V8 Roadsters oil pans, which look promising. See https://v8roadsters.com/product/screw-on-filter/ and https://v8roadsters.com/product/remote-filtercooler/ . The second one may be a better choice since it allows a remote oil cooler add if needed.
​​​​​​​Advice would be welcomed!

I have an NB with Monster Miata K member. I don't track the car. I used the Mast Motorsports LS conversion oil pan. Check out their website, it would be a cheaper option. You can see from their diagrams if the baffling is what you are looking for.

I use the V8R/Kevco steel oil pan and have no issues with my limited track use. If you're already using a stock pan perhaps one of the Improved Racing baffle kits would work for you.
