If you never go off the track, you aren't trying, and you're not enjoying yourself to the max either, so don't be ashamed of going off.
After all, that's what track days are all about.

I've had the same problem caused by Brisbane roads, but it begs the question - what actually goes out of place to un-align a previously good wheel alignment???
