Can you do anything about the obvious asymmetry in the launch, where the passenger side front wheel lifts much more than the drivers side. A torque tube maybe?

Nah its easier than that, ballast the left side, by converting it to LHD, More fact than fun,

You dont want to do that, it is all part of a cunning plan to reduce friction losses , only 3 wheels in contact with the track, 2 driving, 1 steering!

Chris.
Nah!!
Its more fun this way Chris
Since I tweaked the rear suspension I dont have to add much steering input on the launch now. Even though she is still cocking one leg ??
I forgot to add that I jhave a bad brake bind that we discovered on the second run on Sunday. I coasted in drive down the fire yp lane and popped it to neutral at about 10mph. It stopped quite quickly on its own??
I havent had time to find out which brake is binding though. I'll have a look over the weekend.
Hi Chris
In my case I found that the rear axle mount for the top link on my 4 bar had broken on the drivers side - and I then went for stiffer rear springs, so later on the car was launching like this
