Thanks for the reply Sean. You may be right about the camber, particularly with
the tread design on the 712s. However, my friend's Volvo exhibits the same
problem and he's running stock alignments.

I suppose I could do that, and re-align for each track event, but that's a
pretty expensive endeavour.

Thin - they had 60k - but not too unevenly. There was a little more wear (maybe
1mm or so, maybe) off the inside of the front tire, but not what you might worry
about. High camber settings do affect wear, but it's not as dramatic an effect
as toe.
