If you haven't run many short course races, it'll probably help for you first couple runs to short shift into second and just leave it there so you can focus on your lines through the corners and not over power the rear tires too easily.

Jordan, by blowing the tires off do you mean smoking them out of the corner? I sure wouldn't think the tires would come off the rims, but maybe I'm wrong.
