Radials can be touchy on a marginal track for sure. I would drop the tire pressure to 18 and see if it helps. It will give the tire a bit more contact with the track. You may have just simply worn them out if you have been doing a heavy burn out. Not to say your car doesn't have a good suspension, but most stockers have a very well tuned and adjusted set up, with a lot of weight moved around.
My suggestion is to go with a 29.5x9 Mickey Thompson bias tire for bracket racing. They'll be .08 - .10 slower, hook great and if they spin it's only .01-.03. Not to mention they are much cheaper than the radials.
