Do you run a different alignment for the high oval to reduce chances of smacking the wall?
I've heard/been told that it is a good idea to run less camber to avoid a blowout on the right front.
This is the alignment that I normally use. I can change the caster back to ~ 7.5 (stock), but don't see that as something affecting tire wear.
Also, I target 35-36 psi hot for the tires, do you target higher or lower?

Hankook, Michelin, & Pirelli guides (for competition tires) have info regarding places like Daytona. For example, in the Hankook racing tire guide: "For tracks with sections of high-banking, or “rovals”, the camber settings must be significantly reduced because the track’s banking dramatically increases the load on the tires." I've seen anywhere from 0.5 to 1.5 less on the RH side and the same to around 0.5 more added to the left. I have not ran Daytona yet but the physics make sense on why I'd change my settings.
