That would be kind of unlikely this being a stick car his right foot would be on the gas and left foot would still be somewhere "left" of the clutch pedal.

This picture tells the reason the car turns left. Notice the drivers side tire looks less loaded than the passenger side tire. Your wheelie bars are either unloading the tires OR you have too much pre-load...either on purpose or accident. I'd pull the shocks off and have them dyno checked to ensure you dont have a valving issue.While the shocks are off make sure the suspension goes through it's arc with out binding. Re-check EVERYTHING. For a band aid fix for now....limit the front end travel more.That "airtime" is causing some issues too.

One of the many people that wonders why you'd put something like that in your sig just to start crap, and then don't even know the difference between "your all talk" and "you're all talk"......

Pics of car looks like it leaves pretty straight and flat! Bet half turn of preload fixes it. Wouldnt say you have any chassis issues that some small tweaks wouldnt fix.

I would never try tuning the chassis based on the pictures.The first thing I would do is paint the wheelie bar wheels and see if one is contacting the dragstrip longer than the other,this will tell you which side is loading harder.Then try adjusting the bar height,if that don't work,try adjusting the shocks,next would be preload.If all else fails look for flexing or twisting or something wrong in the suspension componants and attachments as well as correct measurements and alignment.
