But great job making the most of day two! A lot of people would allow their emotions to get the most of them, negatively impacting their driving. It's nice to see you were still able to crush the class record. Way to go!

Thank you, an attempt was made
A few other notes... I'm calling my electric power steering cut issues done. Back in October-ish I made some front damper length and sway bar endlink changes. Ever since then I have not once experienced EPS cut, I waited until Chuckwalla to call it dead since I'd experienced cuts in half of the corners on track prior.
IMO, there are some weird things at play with the endlink geometry that cause bind. Another thing is if the coilover perches bind on the springs it'll also cause this to happen from the extra induced drag/bind.
I also switched to sphericals on the front LCA and switched from doing my string alignment in mm to 1/32". Whether related or not, tire wear seems much better than I expected from this event, so hopefully that has turned somewhat of a corner as well since it has been my main frustration with the car.
I think the little bit of rear toe in was a good call. The car felt awesome all weekend, I was able to get the car doing the light skating in the rear on throttle without the car completely lighting the tires up and sliding more than I wanted. The times that it was a little bit pushy were more or less entirely induced by me getting overly greedy on entry speed.
All in all, things are trending the right direction.
