Thanks, all. The track was moist yesterday. When it is moist, it will pull up fluff. So, my red taper pins were loading with fluff and skating around quite a bit. I got some M3 holeshots on the rear (still taper pins on the front), and that straightened things out to where the car was balanced, but still lots of "drifting" (it's just not the same dirt as indoor clay). Then I put M3 holeshots on the front, too. The car really hooked, so I had to change all my turning points, and the car felt less predictable, even though the tires are obviously better grippers on that dirt. So, I will work on getting a little better sidebite in the rear now.
It is cool that there are bumps all over -- there is one nasty kickup in the bend of my backstraight. It had caused me to do a complete front-flip once, so I am leaving that one there.
I was out of action for a bit because (surprise) my right hub carrier on the xxx4 broke, and I only had 4 left ones and zero right ones. So I finally did the bj4 front hub carrier swap. So far, so good.
