More left turns that right turns attributed to this, is normal.

Probably because I was leaning on the right rear pretty hard in the last turn off the course, maybe some axle flange flex?

Bingo...

I thought it was an anomaly when it first showed at NCM couple weeks ago, attributed it to glazed over front pads and dust shields on the rear. With brand new pads all around and it showed it's ugly head again...it is a pattern.

I think I know what it is, just haven't decided on the cure yet. I still run the factory brake proportioning valve which holds a little pressure on the rear brakes after the pedal is released. Apparently it's the reason why I have no complaints about pad knock back with my rear discs like everyone else not running a floater complains about.

It obviously has other drawbacks though...

I've been running it like that since I put the 9" in 5 years ago, I've just never had my post run data collection this refined to nail it down like I did last couple of events.
