Larry,
Couple things to remember. Short wheel base with a lot of horse power equals easy to lose control especially on hard tires and/or tires that are cold. Driving these cars is like driving on black ice ie; be careful as you can lose traction quickly unless the suspension is really dialed in and you have some sticky tires under you. Even then the best of them have lost it. Many years ago I had a Superformance with small block 351 and Paxton Supercharger on it. Micheln Pilots that stuck pretty good when hot but coming out of a corner at Motorsports Ranch my tires were still a bit cool and when I put some power into it the back end came right around and did two 360s. Good news is not much around me. Taking some classes and also following some experience drivers on a specific track would be a good place to start!
