i need traction my 1/8th is terrible

i went to the track for the first time friday. the car has had a 6 speed in it for 3 weeks im still figuring it out. my times are as follow:

1st run
reaction .990
60ft 2.64
1/8th 9.48 @ 88.20 mph


2nd run
reaction 1.07
60ft 2.572
1/8th 9.510 @ 85.56


3rd run
reaction 1.40
60ft 2.25
1/8th 8.82 @ 89.1


i had a few more runs but i blew the tires off. i kept spinning through 3rd. i drive my car like a rally racer instead of a drag racer counter-steering more than half way down the track. i was sleeping at the tree, cant you guys tell. i did have a blast though.

Your not going to hook at all on street tires. Drag radials or et streets should be the first thing you get. After that you can start working on your suspension...lca's, tourqe arm, adj. shocks, etc. And then pray that your 10 bolt doesnt break .
