calming the car down on the starting line
racerken:
Does it have a spool or open rear end.

I would measure rearend to motor plate both side and then check rear end is centered. If all check out there I would swap tires around,maybe one has issue. If still goes right you know its not in tires,If goes left you have the problem
crider:
To answer some of the questions, I've lowered the wheelie bars enough now that the front tires are staying on the ground, and still pushing the front to the right. Also have measured tires diameter is less than 1/8" different side to side. I don't really think the rear would be out of line, because the car was running straight as an arrow until this issue just popped up out of nowhere, but I will sure check it. It's a spool rear diff. I had thought about swapping tires, maybe that's next. I'm running out of time to get any runs this fall

Does it have a cracked frame support somewhere??
I remember Doug Herbert hauled across the USA got out trailer car nearly killed him--they stripped the tin off and due to wrong chassis support ( crew screw up ) it had cracked some supports
You seem to have tried everything--tires are within spec--WAS going straight
so??
That or you are not in the groove-- very Easy to do---rather---it is hard without experienced crew to get staged right in the groove in a dragster makes all the diff in the world

Yea forgot about the its just started this. Then I would definitely check frame and then swap tires.If for no other reason than to remove ant doubt.
