Default Unusual sensation during burnout - possible rear end failure?

I just installed a new set of Mickey T's on the car (ET streets) and I couldn't help but notice when performing a burnout at the track that I was getting some really 'unusual' sensations from the rear end. It felt almost like only one wheel was spinning or it would spin and stop, very weird stuff. Of course I can't confirm this since I was in the car at the time obvously, but does anybody have any idea or familiarity with what I'm describing? Could this be the begining of a 10-bolt headed out the door? Mind you it makes no noises or chattering, just that weird sensation.. anyone?

If one of your tires grips more then the other it can slip to one wheel. Make sure your psi is the same and both tires are equally in the water box.
