The torque spec on bleeder screws are usually in the range of 8 ft/lb's. And to further provide evidence of this, my front caliper's have done the same thing as your's. It's from the cheap caliper design expanding under high heat levels. However, i've not seen the rear calipers suffer from this issue. Did you have VDC turned off during the track day?
