The problem is the electrical plug at the coil pack. It is poorly designed and the electrical connection is not great.
I decided to do an experiment and tweeked the male pins on the coil pack with needle nose pliers. I just twisted them 10 degrees or so to preload the connection and put them back on the car. Its been about a year (5 or 6 track day weekends) and I have not had another issue. I hope this works as well for you guys as it did for me.
which way did you twist or rotate? Diagram would be super helpful
