I've tried different rpms and can't get out of the wheelspin of my 3.73 rear end. I lose all my time with First gear and half of second just spinning away.

I pretty much start about 1200 - 1500 rpm and shift around 6800 rpm. The problem for this particular day was track surface temperature was over 100F and I suspect with it being a casual club event the track wasn't prepped as good as it could have been. Everyone was spinning. I did ask an official at the track what surface temperature would be best and he said about 85F. I brought my temperature gun and by the time racing started it was an up hill battle.
It would be nice to make a few passes with lower DA and track surface temperature within a good range.
The tires stick better on a normal road than they did at the event.
