Ohh Grasshopper,
When you see the last yellow on the slow tree you should be doing your thing, a street car will not generally beat the tree. I suggest you leave at lower RPM like maybe 2 grand and sneak up on tire spin.
As a first timer or with limited track time fight every urge you have to drive through it if you loose traction, get off the throttle !!! If you have not hit anything and car is pointed in the right direction then maybe roll the gas back on.
Use your first pass just to lightly launch the car and then motor down the track lightly so you can learn what is at the other end. Learn where the return road/s is and how to get on it. Choose the lane on the return side so you don't have to cross lanes until you get a feel and are safe.
These cars will bit you in the a$$ and ARE faster than you are. Try to get into your first gotcha slowly enough that you get to remember everything that happened. Enjoy
