Default Burn out issue

At my local track it seems like when I get in the left lane, every time I start a burn out my car will turn plum sideways. It always wants to do it but if you get the wheel speed up quick it is manageable except in the left lane. I race at 2 different tracks and its only the one lane that I cant deal with. I have also noticed others with same problem. What kind of adjustment can I make? Ive got adjustable lower control arms and dont have a cage or sub-frame connectors.

I have also noticed my car torques up pretty bad on launch and I am wondering if sub-frame connectors may help that issue? I would love to put a cage in it but dont want to add the weight. If I dont get a good burn out I tend to spin just enough to make the car inconsistent. Last night I ran 7.81, 7.83, 7.82. I dialed in at 7.80 and ran 7.802. I left the dial and got that efin left lane, didnt get a good burn out and ran a 7.87. My 60 went from a 1.66 to 1.71. It felt like my car just slipped a tire for just a half a turn or so. Any way was enough to cost me the race.
