Rear end fluid for the twisties?

I'm going to do another track event in Dec. While doing the last one I noticed that the light (inside) rear wheel was spinning coming out of the turns (really bad). After I got home I tried a launch strait ahead and it laid down two tracks so WTF? My instructor said I should change the fluid and put in Red Line 1/2 with friction modifier and half without. Will that really do any good and does anyone here have other ideas? Stan?

I believe with the traction-lok rear end you will always get "one tire fire" around turns. My Lightning does it all the time. I was told/under the impression that, that is its job. -Mat-

You may be right Mat but it sure hurts your times on the track (road course).
