Update:
Well went to Practice Friday night and got to the track early yesterday to practice before race night.
The new technique is paying off. Almost got a 16 second lap in which is right where my class fast guys are running. Some other minor adjustments helped a ton with my car and driving.
Loosen slipper a little, take some travel out of the brake, and put on a smaller wheel on my radio, besides "NOT LETTING GO OF THE WHEEL!"
Thanks for all your guys input, it has really helped and hopefully this thread will help other in the future.
