Driver mod?......sorry I couldn't help myself.

You have this trouble with traction control on? What gear ratio do you have? Does this only happen when launching the car? When does it happen most? In what manner do you launch the car? What RPM? How do you release the clutch?

I agree on the Driver Mod...Just practice launching. If all else fails, get some fatter tires out back.

It's "fishtailing" and you need to invest in some drag radials for the dragstrip.

How is your track prepped? Surely you aren't racing on the streets. Besides this illegal and there are ar too many variables on an unprepared surface like that anyway.

Practice always helps!

What kind of tires are on your car now? Mine came with the 235-series Pirelli all-season tires. They pretty much suck for everything except good fuel mileage...

I threw on some 275's in the rear and now I can't even barely get a chirp out of my gears other than 1st and that's if I really try. My rear does not swing out anymore unexpectedly unless I am driving aggressively. My stock tires chirped on every redline shifts on all 1st 3 gears and driving in the rain was almost driving on patches of ice lol. Wider rear goes a long way in helping with traction.

Would this be "tailfishing?"
