Pretty much what Hukster said.

I would add something simple. IMHO, If you are spinning out at a corner, you are going too fast for the corner in your configuration and line.
One thing to try is lower your speed maybe 5 MPH and increase your speed on each subsequent lap to find your max speed.

There are a lot of factors involved. Re-71s are great "street" trackable tires, while they are reasonable sticky, they are not truly R comp tires. They do handle heat reasonable well, but will get a bit greasy as they get really hot, so towards the end of a session, they won't perform as well as a coupler of laps prior. Look into Nitto Nt-01s if you can go with less than 200TW in your class. They love heat.

As we say in San Diego region of PCA, "Sometimes in order to find your limits, you need to exceed them" that and "In a spin, BOTH feet in and come to a complete stop"
