I am taking tire temps to see the distribution of heat across the the 275 to verify camber. especially on the passenger front. regardless of the correct temp, do you think the tire surface cool in significantly different between the inside and outside?

All the comments about my driving are accurate and I am working on it. I am slowing too much into the corners. I am practicing by running higher gears so I can hit the gas and not worry about spinning out. I hit turn 18 multiple time at 48mph and there is no reason to take it below 50mph. Last year I was at 43-45 range. Same at turn 1, i am trail braking into it but too much. I trail brake into every corner. some just to establish habit, some for real.

I mainly practice now getting rid of cruising between off the brakes and on the gas. It is better then last year, but far far from perfect. I watched many YouTube videos in the winter that shows driver feet work.

I am not sure if this is a right approach but I take many laps mostly on 5th gear. That allows me to concentrate on entry speed and timing of brakes and gas. it turns the car into a Miata so no lap records.
What you need to is a consistent car and your driving will get better much faster. Otherwise, you're constantly adjusting your driving as the car is behaving differently.

Experience has told me you can really only focus on and improve one small aspect of your driving per session.
