Also, I noticed that the car was very sketchy on the drive home Saturday night (I had adjusted the suspension at the track that morning). Turns out I had 7/16" toe out! No wonder I was so unstable under braking at the track. I blame this on my cone killing incident!
At least orange cones match your paint!

I had a revelation in the sweeper last time I was at MSR Houston CCW. You don't need to turn in from the left entering the bus stop. The middle works great as well.

Dang, I run -3.5 camber up front with 35psi on NT01s and that seems to work pretty well. I corded all 4 tires at the same time at Cresson. Did a tire flip and some careful rotation and got 7 days out of NT01s...which is an eternity considering how much sliding I did on them.

I find the grass is much easier on the tread.
