Suffering from a torque induced pull to left on take off?

[Frostbite]

Reading the below posts I was reminded of drag racing last year. I'd line up next to someone and when the hand dropped away we'd go. My nose would point into the air and if I was on the right look out. There was such an incredible torque induced pull to the left that several times I had to let off before I hit someone and we'd have to race again.
At first I chalked it up to my 2 1/4" x 151" finger track actually increasing the speed the earth was spinning on take off.
Then I thought I perhaps had too much transfer with my transfer rod elimination kit.
After adjusting the transfer, I thought maybe with a 1/4" and 3/4" in the heel of my heavy hitters were to blame. Nope.
Now, I think it's just unbelievable bottom end torque.

Do the rst of you suffer from this malady when taking off in a drag race? I would think that the more picks you have the worse it would be?

Happy Holidays Guys

No studs and still have that problem, especially on my viper with the Expertx, gotta learn to lean to the right on take off, as your gaining altitude lean out more, man sounds like a prop plane taking off with rudder. lol hey a p51mustang you use almost full rudder on take off, does this mean we are in that same kinda power class, Merry Christmas all.

If you are going up, you are not going forward. Try your best to sit forward and/or adjust the suspension so as not to wheelie. This diesettles the suspension so much that you and up not allowing the suspension to, well, suspend. The first direction any vehicle goes ina dragrace is straight down. It doesn't go up, it doesn't go forward. You have to think in micro and nano seonds about this to understand exactly what is happening. Instead of adjusting the suspension, first try sitting forward more on the seat. If need, put you gonads around the fuel cap to test this theory. If this eems to help then try adjusting the suspension to compensate. What ends up happening when you wheelie is that you end up riding on lets say the last 12 incehs or less of your track. Then due to the fact that you have incresed the pressure per square inch on the track, you begin to "bulldozer" and steer the sled via getting more traction on the right side of the track thereby pushing you left much like a bulldozer davances the right track to turn left.

Of course, we could now begin to talk about chassis flex and how the clutches are getting pulled out of alignment, but that is likely not happening due to the fact that you have no studs.

Perhaps this may help you.

Tightening the limiter strap on the side it is pulling to will help.

No, no, no, It's absolutly got to do with changes in the earths rotation

I agree with Silverbullet, you other guys are wacked. lol

If youy have adjustable Control rods, try tweeking one or the other, I could straighten out my SRX that way.

Supertuner that is what I do ,lean forward so my skies just lift 2 or 3 inches of the snow.Adjusting the control rods to the hight you want to be.
