would hitting the wheel where the bead seats with some sandpaper be a good idea to help minimize this?

A lot of performance wheels have knurling on the rim where the tire sits to help prevent the tire slipping. I haven't experienced it myself, I'm sure it has happened but I don't recall feeling it.

I have had this issue on my Z06's and ZR1, they would spin 10-12". The shop used to much lube if they are spinning. Clean the beads and reseat and you should have no problems.

Yep...definitely braking and not vtak did that

Just goes to show you have great brakes and excellent rubber. I think I might mark mine at the next event to see if they move or not. RS3s and XP12 pads.
