You might be able to get away with such a low psi in a sprintcar, but the volume of air in the rear tires on a mini is alot lower. It seems like their isn't anything holding the car up with such low psi...
after reading your posts a bit more throughly you said that under caution the car is all over the place. It really seems like low psi in your rear tires is the problem. During greens the centrifigal force holds the tires up and allows in to handle somewhat bettter. If your tires are more inflated you wouldn't have to rely on the tires expanding to hold up the car. I hope this makes sense. Give it a shot and see what happens...
Yep tire pressures seem low. I'd try with 10 in my r/r and 7 or so in l/r and take it from there. The guys at flemington and reading used to run grooved drag slicks, man when them babys got going a 130 mph or so and that big block spinning them tires up and still excellerating it was insane. gotta love centrifical force.
