On the track you are pulling an extra half g or so in the bankings depending on speed and turn radius. This might be contributing. Your 150lb body might weigh over 200lbs through the turns.

Also, do you have trouble standing during a race (some people do)? Just standing every once in a while usually makes any numbness go away.
