Default question about spool.....

this may seem like a odd question, but i have a spool and when doing burn outs the car slides to the right, with a spool i figured the car would go straight.... any ideas?

That was really the only thing I could think of... if one tires was just getting more traction? But the car just went HARD right as soon as they started spinning, just thought it was odd. Tire pressures in the slicks were 20 on the right and 18 on the left. This was actually on a street and I found that the tires pressures weren't enough as when I went back to look at the burnout, the contact patches were 2 small strips on the outsides of each tire....... So that would mean they are under inflated correct?
