Les, maybe you need to go to a track with longer straightaways...lol
Those ricer go-carts wouldn't stay with you there...

Seriously, I think why our N/A friends are so good on the twisties, is gearing. Having the stick and a higher rearend, makes for very good cornering. The other note, is our throttle only gives us 60% at shift, so you aren't getting that surge coming out as you would with a stick...but once you are free and onto a staightaway, I bet you pull them just fine...good luck....
