I'd probably start about 26 all around, then come in to the pits hot and measure again. Most tires should be around 36-38 hot.

Tire Pressure for Track

Go to Tirerack's site under Michelin PSC tire. Here is one of the charts. Much more info available on the site.

I've read to start at 33F and 39R for a starting point. Its the winter TPMS settings, since the tires will heat up much more then normal driving your TPMS won't read +6 or however much over the "suggested" pressure for normal driving.
