Nate, this is pretty common in my car too, like after a hard 30 minutes at
Laguna Seca for example.  Coming off the track the lifters will tick pretty good
at idle, I think its more oil temp related however, or going to a thicker
viscocity would probably help too.  I'd be a little concerned with that much oil
in the pan with the crank or some of the crank seals getting submerged in oil,
just watch for leaks, etc.
