Default Dehydrated after track time

It was a hot one today and I'm still recouping from the heat. My car ran great, as usual, the car was loose, as usual and I was one of the fastest. I lost my 2 new Hankook front tires. One corded on the inside and one had an internal failure of some kind. I believe the belts shifted from the wavy look of the tire. My buddy with a Mustang showed up with a new supercharger system installed. He improved 5 seconds a lap but I still passed him every time we were on the track together. His car is fast, the driver needs work. I'm done with the Kooks. It's time for USA made, Hoosiers. The Kooks were real fast the first track day and got progressively slower the more heat cycles they had. I'm still on the first set of rear tires while having killed 2 sets of fronts. I included a couple of pictures. One to punctuate just how hot it was on track and one to illustrate what -2.75 o camber loods like.
I'll look at the videos tomorrow.

I backed out and re connected the rear bar planning to unhook it if the car was still loose. The heat killed that idea. I still want to try however. I'm loosing the back of the car as I lift off the brakes before mid corner and loose off getting on the gas. The front is gripping.
