You need a better tire and less gear if your still on a 26" tire.

I'm running 17 with nitto drags. I do know that traction is a problem, lots of spin than hopping. The few times i've been at the track i have a full tank of gas, spare tire and jack still in, traction is better but with no weight in the rear, just spins 1st and 2 gear 2.3 60ft. So i was thinking of gear change before tires, to help down the track.
