Since your runs are relatively short and are multiple tight turns back-to-back, your tires have minimal time to come-up to temperature, so run 2 lbs higher in the front tires than in the rear. Realign the car with neutral toe in the rear (0.00) and negative toe in the front. (-0.20) each side for a total toe of (-0.40) on the front. Adjust your rear Koni's 1/2 turn SOFTER from the complete FIRM setting. And the front Koni's 1/2 turn FIRMER from the complete SOFT setting. This will help you carve turns MUCH quicker, but will start to initiate the T/C more often...
Run with the T/C on during your first event, then run with your T/C off during the second event and see which setting works better for you...
Minutes before your event get the car away from the crowd and do a series of spins / turns / skid pad stuff to heat-up the tires... If they let you...
Stock springs with Koni's...only dampers can be changed in stock class.
Right now toe at both ends is zero...I may toe it out a little in the front for the next event. We will probably try throwing the H&R front sway bar on there too.
Already running a few psi more in the front.
I left ESP on for one full run and for part of one run (both accidentally)...I never need to try that again...waaay too intrusive. When it's off (well as off as the switch allows...which is all we can legally do), it kicks in some, but is bearable.
Tire warming is specifically prohibited.
