Alignment question

Got my 2010 GS back from alignment shop yesterday. Before the alignment to the Pfadt "track use w/ street tire specs" adjusted for a bit more (-) camber (F) and (R), the camber on the left side of the car was much more (-) than the right. Specifically, -1.6 (F) left vs -0.7 (F) right and -1.0 (R) left vs. -0.5 (R) right. Any ideas on what would cause the left side to get so much more (-) camber than the right?

Car is dual purpose and has been on LRP and Lightning @ NJMP, both clockwise tracks.

Thanks

Curb jumping will knock it screwy. Or it was built after noon on a Friday.

Factory alignments have been known to be rather out of spec.

I avoid curb jumping owning to its dual purpose usage but even if I hit one from time to time on a clockwise track, I am thinking the (-) camber on the left side would not be made more (-). that is what I don't understand.
I do have the build date somewhere...
