Ronnie, dont know how old your stuff is, but when my car (always went straight) started to go right i almost hit the wall on the 3rd pass i found my rear shock was not rebounding causing my car to go right,might not be your problem but a quick check never hurts.

What does it do when you get out of the throttle at the big end?

What are the corner weights?

If it doesn't move around in the top end then I would say it is a shock issue.

Does it turn when you touch back down or when the front end is still in the air?

You may need just a tiny bit of additional pre-load to the right rear if the car is driving right. More power would make it to drive harder to the right.

If it is only pulling to the left when in the air it could be wheelie bars steering the car. If the right wheelie bar is hitting too much sooner than the left it can steer you right. Vice versa on the other side.

If the car is pulling to either side while in the air way down track and it is not wheelie bar steering issues you can be fairly sure it will either be tire diameter difference or in rare cases one tire will grow more at high speeds. I saw that not too long ago here in our area on an Outlaw car. When that happens the car will pull more as speeds increase.

Rod, you brought up an excellent point most people oversee.
