If traction came up throughout the day check to make sure you are doing a good job of cleaning your tires. If you have compound building up it will change how the car handles throughout the day. (ie. First qual - Low traction, Second/Third qual - good traction, Main - too much traction leading to rolling).

Might want to try swapping out springs or going to a front roll bar/going one step stiffer.
Thats a good point as well, the layout was brand new, and by the end of the night you could clearly see a new groove. I didnt even think about that.

My tires are REALLY broken in, I cant sauce them too much or I traction roll like crazy. They have almost 100 runs on them.
