Oil Pressure

Oil Pressure
Ok so I'm out driving heading to do some test hits and the whole way (6 miles or so) my oil pressure is 50+ psi...I get to my destination bust off a few hits and my oil pressure goes to crap, first pass 30, second pass 20-10...so as I head back after seeing this it drops to 5psi to 0. I let off the throttle it goes back to 5-10...engine is not ticking or tapping or any abnormal noise...this is a mechanical gauge..and if I shut it down for 5 minutes then start it back up I have 50-60psi on the gauge.
Anyone have an idea on what this is?? A Sticking relief valve maybe?

Everything looked clean not a bit of sludge that is with fresh oil..maybe 20 miles on that oil change PF61e Delco filter on it.

Could that valve be hanging open during acceleration? Then when I shut her down everything returns to normal And the next start up oil pressure is normal?
