Default Launching question

As I get bolder with more mileage on my stook and I go for more "maximum efforts" I am starting to notice a distinct strong rear end pull to the right during spinning starts. Do you guys have a similar twist during launches and did you do anything about it? My tire pressure is dead even left-right. I usually back off the gas since there's usually not enough road width to want to go a whole lot sideways.

Just this morning I 'almost' lost to a modded (at least exhaust) VR6-badged GTI because of that. Took 3rd gear to pull on him (ahead at 75 MPH) since my start was only halfway decent. We were dead even all the way through my 2nd gear.

So except for Jboggs the rest of you are telling me I'm just a whiner or what? Do your stooks have excess rear drift on launches and what, if anything, do you do about it?
