One more event in the books! I tried lowering the rear 1/8" and changed to a softer rear bar (75% of the original stiffness), but I was still chasing the tail of the car on the first run. I disconnected the rear bar and the car was much better! Here's a video of my second run, which was my fastest:

This run was one of those special ones where your conscious mind is just observing what your subconscious is doing, and only doing micro adjustments when the plan wasn't working exactly as expected. At the end of the run I was trying to align two run-time sticky notes but simply couldn't because my hands were shaking from the adrenaline. This is why I do this sport!
I need to separate if I have steady-state oversteer (fix w/ springs/bars) or turn-in oversteer (fix with shocks), but it's quite challenging to determine that on our slalom-heavy courses. I definitely was 'backing it in' to a few large offsets on later runs, which is fun but not the fastest way. I'm going to try adding some front rebound damping as my next step.
The fix for the camera vibration was pretty simple - I tied the GoPro mount to the roll bar with a nylon strap, and positioned the suction cup mount so that the strap was preloading the camera inwards. My hope was that the high-frequency vibration from the engine would be somewhat damped by the suction cup and bodywork, and the nylon strap would stop the mount from oscillating over the bigger stuff. Success!
It's also interesting from the video how long the car was on the rev limiter. I could not hear that given everything else going on, and there's no obvious surging going on. The winter plans installing the MicroDynamics rev limiter I picked up from Pegasus. I'm hoping that it gives a more obvious "dun-dun-dun-dun" staccato rev limiter like I've experienced in other cars.
