[quote=AndyF Measure the diameter of each tire, sometimes they vary by quite a bit. [/quote] get them within a 1/4 inch on the circumference with a cloth seamtress tape using air pressure, if possible If they are more than a 1/4 inch now and you can't get them near that try swapping the big tire with the small tire on opposite sides. Good luck, let us know what you find out Do you have a manual valve body trans? If so are you starting in 2.nd gear and shifting into high gear as soon as the rear tires start to spin? If not try that and get the rear tire spinning as fats as possible to get them hot sooner

Possible you have a bent or twisted axle housing?

I log I thought about the weight issue too. I will need to find someone local that has scales so i can check on that.
Would it help any to soften up a shock on one side?
Also, someone asked about the axle housing. This rearend is a new Moser Dana 60 so i hope it's not bent or twisted!
I hadn't thought of the front brakes. That will give me something to check also.
I don't think I would be able to get back out to the track this year to test. Seattle rainy season is just about upon us!
I will spend the winter checking on why it is doing this.
I appreciate everyone's input. Good stuff.
I will post what I find. Tightening the left torsion bar adjuster will jack weight to the right rear. As long as the car doesnt wheel stand this will help. Doug
