Default Adding Extra Oil for the Track

The Owners Manual says to add an extra quart of oil at the track and then to remove it when finished autocross/track driving. What's the best way to remove the oil? Is it possible to take a quart from the oilpan without draining too much?

(in teh case of burning oil or sucking it through the intake) I would just add oil as needed to your car. Under extreme g-forces you can run the engine dry from oil not getting to the pump... the extra oil does help that out... Just take it easy and that will not be a problem for you.
