Out of curiosity I emailed Bridgestone directly to find out what their recommended tyre pressures were for track use. The response is below and may prove useful to those that venture out on track and use cold pressures.
Dear Ryan,
Thank you for your mail.
32 psi front
30 psi rear
Both cold.
Remember to raise back to 36 / 42 for road use.
I trust this answers your question.
