Mike already has a deposit from me for the CSG Unicorn Suspension so I'm just yanking his chain.

I started out trying 35psi hot (measuring the tire pressure at the end of a session) and then lowered the hot pressure 1lb at a time each session until I got to 32lb hot. At 35lb hot the tires seemed to get "greasy" and I was sliding around after a few laps. Not so much with the lower hot pressure.

I have been switching the front and back tires on the same side after each track day. I'll move them to the opposite side of the car next time I'm at the track and see how that goes.

I trailer the car to and from the track - so no worries there

OP should do this.
Oh, I did this a long time ago. Mike told me I drive like an old granny and I don't need suspension until I start breaking the 50mph barrier

I have one of those, but no friends. I've been trying to remember to use my one of these instead:
