No one mentioned tire pressure in this thread. Something like 40 psi in the fronts to reduce rolling friction and 25 psi in rear to allow greater contact patch?

that depends on what tires you're running, track conditions, track temperatures...etc. Different compounds and makers have different "sweet spots". For that I recommend doing your own testing and keeping a log. That's what we do...its a pain, but the data is invaluable!

I agree this car is more meant for a road course as opposed to a straight line. I think I am going to do a Friday at the Track at Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia. It's $250 and you get lots of instruction.

+1 WV....Im planning a trip to Summit Point myself sometime soon

This is what happened to me the other night. What the hell. Really embarrassing.
Is this preventable?

You need a much higher temp clutch fluid.
