Pulls to the left on launch!

UPDATE
Just thought I should let you guys know that this problem is fixed. It turns out the air bag, that was accidentily left in the passenger's side, was causing the rear suspension to bottom out on it. This left the dirver's side to drop even further, which caused the rear alignment to be off and cause the pull to the left. Even with no air in the bag, it would not collapse, especially inside a coiled spring. So for those that might have a similar situation as we did, run either an air bag or an anit-roll bar, not both ... otherwise your car can pull to the left as well. The car launches as straight as an arrow now, she even said she could drive it down the track with no hands!
I am not letting her try that.
