The track was cement concrete low-grip.
The problem was that i had a difficult time holding the rear when cornering unless i went very slow.
Sudden accelerations on the straights were ok, (not losing the rear), but while cornering at constant low speed was difficult. Any ideas?

Avoid using HoleShot tires on concrete - they are primarily designed for off-road (dirt etc). They won't grip very well and will get worn down very quickly.
Try using rear tires like the 'Proline Road Rage' if you continue to race on concrete. They will improve your traction quite a bit and will not wear down nearly as fast.
Hope this helps.
