Make sure that the chassis isn't tweaked. That will cause you to spin around as well. Unfortunately, the lack of suspension is your biggest killer for tooling around in parking lots, as well as the probability that everywhere you are running has dust on the surface. We used to run these back in the day on both banked carpet oval and flat oval. They actually hooked up really well with the stock tires. I'd actually forgo the touring tires and look for a pair of green foams, or the softest that you can find.
