That happened at work one of the engine builders put 7 qts and then went to lunch. he then put another 7 qts in. i dyno'd the engine it was 100 HP down, drained the oil and power went back to where it was. It took awhile to figure it out for sure

Does anybody use a dipstick anymore? Or is that off limits on a racecar?

It sounds like the "Dipsticks" are the ones putting the oil in !

Good job Gary (Paulie) !

This happens more often than not. Buddy of mine added twice the oil in his SG Chevy II. He made a pass and the car was smoking big time. He said he got distracted while changing the oil. Life and our damn phones get in the way.
