weight can make a lot of difference at the track so if your stocks are lighter then put them on, also take out anything that is removable like subs, amps, seats, spare tires, jacks, you would be amazed at how much weight that really is.

Try and get a 15x7 rim for the track, it has a smaller diameter and its wide enough for good traction.

His next response will determine if its a flame or a serious question.
