I have some guys who are going to help me at the track next weekend, but if I can go in with the right setup (or close to it) it might make things easier.
Post your setup...
It will then be a lot easier to see where you are going wrong. One simple tip would be to reduce your rear droop. You are likely transferring too much weight forward when entering a turn so reducing the rear droop will limit the forward weight transfer. This is one of the easiest changes to use in a pinch for biasing weight transfer for me. Your tires may be too soft as well...I know, it sounds strange but if you think about it, the reason your rear is breaking loose is because the front has too much grip which can be exaggerated by softer tires. Ever since I realized that weight transfer is king and how nearly all setting changes influence weight transfer, I can find a reliable starting point fairly quickly at any track.
