There was a large variation from L to R temperature was about 650 on the L and 450 on the R. The track does have more right handers under braking, but that still seems like a pretty large difference between left and right?!
makes perfect sense if you didn't pull the ABS fuse or do the pedal dance.

TCS was interceding on your behalf to keep the car oriented.

Another strange phenomenon occurred. Prior to the event my rotors were warped. Pretty bad vibration. I had them resurfaced once already and it didn't help for long, so I figured I'd abuse them and replace them after the event. Somehow the vibration almost complete vanished after the event. Did I somehow un-warp them?
rotors don't warp.
