Default Launch question/Going left

Looking for some causes for my car starting to go dead left at the hit. It was fine and now 3 straight passes in a row I let the clutch out and it went left. And I mean left. The last run I think I could of reached out and touched the tree as I went by. We have touched nothing on the car on the rear. We have limited the front end travel to prevent eccessive wheel stand. I broke the pinion gear fri night so i have the rear apart and found nothing to cause the left hand turn. Nothing is broke on the suspension. The shocks are ok(ive had that problem in the past) On another note. My daughter videotaped the car fri night and when i did the burnout the right tire was spinning but no smoke on the burnout. The left tire had smoke pouring off of it. the axles are fine. I'm not sure what is going on here. Thanks. Ed
