My next track day I will loosen up the rear rebound by 1 or 2 clicks and see how it responds.

I do remember reading that too much rebound will prevent the wheel from remaining in contact with the ground when the road is uneven causing slippage.

But, since I ran Metzeler M3 tires, I read a few reviews and a lot of the testers all complained about carcass flex coming from the rear. That could be another factor too.
