Your right about tyre pressures ressac.
Way too high for the track, did a track day a couple of weeks back , the day was overcast but still quite hot so i put my tyres at 36psi f/r (i run M-1) had no dramas and even wore quite even......with the exceptions of a few slides.
When i run slicks at the track i ran them at 29r/30f, but you never exceed road tyres past 36psi for the track. There not designed for that type of heat range.....
People crash at the track because they don't understand the operating parameters of tyres.
Here's a pic straight after the track...
Ciao....Paul
