That part sounds pretty normal to me!

Don't forget that this is the beginning of the season, there is very little rubber on the track, it is very cold, and your tires just don't create enough traction.
Also, maybe your posi is giving out and only applying power to one wheel?

I will say that with a posi this should not pull you to the left or the right, it should only overheat the posi and eventually brake it, but never the less I would check that first. The see if your car is 'square' like the other guys have said.

alex what is roll out?? i never heard the term used before?
i did a few more WOT runs today coming home from work, and i think it ma be just the tires/wind on sunday there was about 20mph cross winds along w/ yesterday and today. the track was also very slick, i spun the tires every run
well im def hooked on the MT DRs so im just gonna use these Streets up and replace them in a few weeks.
thanks for all the advice everyone, im gonna just go through the car and check everything out to make sure nothing is off.
