You may have found the problem, let us know if that fixes it.

Did you get it running good? I would check the emergency brake and cable. Either that or too many 1-3rd gear burn-off's have trashed something....maybe rear bearing is bad.

What you need to do is chalk the front wheels, put the trans in neutral and lift the back wheels up. Rotate them by hand to find the source of the problem.
