Could be a dozen different things, including tweak, binding suspension, uneven rear toe, binding bearings, tight driveshaft, binding steering, incorrectly assembled servo saver, faulty servo, uneven front steering rod lengths, incorrect front toe etc.

Take the car to one of the quick drivers at your track, they will probably spot the issue pretty quickly.

May have been contributing to it my old t2 had a few strange problems that turned out to be a seized bearing in one of the rear hubs.

Good chance that was your problem, if it was rubbing on the hub and causing the wheel to rotate slower than the otherside then it would make sense the car wouldn't drive straight.

a bit of thread lock on the grub screw holding in the pin should do the trick, associated had the best idea with the covers that stopped the pin coming out eve if the grub screw loosened.

Hopefully you wont have the same problem next meeting.

Good luck
Graham
