calming the car down on the starting line

I have had good luck using my video camera--I make sure it sees front end and my hands--I can replay a run and see if I was issue or car or track etc Works great and --humbles you some--if not track surface it is usually me causing issue
It has helped me fine tune my driving
Just a thought
My car went through a spell where it went left--turns out if I hold wheel with a little preload to the right--and I mean a little--problem solved so......

Just a thought and only because its hit me before. Are you sure its because your hitting it too hard. I have backed cars off and caused me problem. I know Crider will know what this means as he has driven TA/FC.You can drive a spinning car but you can't drive a shaking car. Just a thought that came to me while reading tru some of your post.

Question. Have you made hit with timing where it was when going straight? If not that would be my top of list thing to do. GOLDEN rule when all else fails go back to baseline of good runs. If you backed it off you mave be making power up higher but pulled good amount off bottom end. Just throwing ideas at you.

I was just looking at an old picture of my car back in the 70's ! Look at how the front wheels would turn to the right when the car would launch !
crider:
That is a serious right turn there. Mine don't seem to be turning any, but then the car goes right with them on or off the ground. Hoping to go out one more time in a couple weeks and see if I can et it any better. It is at least to the point of being predictable, now I just need to keep it from pushing right. I picked up just over .2 with the timing change, I don't really want to go back with it...lol
