I have to ease into it really slowly. To stage I hold the brake and press the gass just enough to pull it up to about 1200 rpm, I let off the brake and feather into the gas slowly. I still spin, but it works better than just flooring it.

If you get traction problems solved you will have a 13 second slip I would bet. Borrow some sticky tires or something and then go get some better times.

As for a better tire, move down a size, like xxx/60/16 or something like that. That will make it wider. Are you still on factory tires, if so you probably were spinning all the way down the track.
