Maybe it's me. The tires are hardly broke in. The hole course was a off camber track. Never done that much. So I'll keep a open mind. Maybe my accident has me mind boggled.

You just changed rear tires? Street tires or race tires? Same brand/model/compound as the front? That could be the case. Was it only when turning a certain direction? When the rear broke loose was it snap oversteer or gradual/controllable? Was the turn-in good because the rear rotated easily or because the front was sharp? How was it under braking?

If it was indeed driver error it was likely a case of going too slow in and getting on the gas too early/hard. Without messing with the traction arms/toe curve I am going to say it's likely not due to the small toe-in.
