Pull the ECU codes, put the hose back on, and see where that leadds. Don't take it to the track until it's all sorted out.

Hmm, I'd have never finished the run in the first place. Oil = Life in these cars. you see your oil pressure drop, you should have stayed where you were.

Like said above, reconnect found hose, pull ECU codes, and go from there.
