One situation that will starve the engine of oil is on long downhills with no throttle, just using engine breaking - so good to give the odd blip in these situations

another one i am not sure of which relates to your situation is long WOT sections. I did one race years ago that had a long straight dirt road with a sign at the beginning saying "give it!!" what the factory teams told us to do here was pin it for 10 seconds then hit the kill switch for a second (still WOT) and repeat. this will put unburnt fuel through the engine every 10 seconds to keep it lubed
The alternative is to jet your main in this situation
