Default Differential question

I took my new to me car to the track for the first time tonight. To go along with the high rpm gear lock out it did something I think is weird but I'm hoping is normal. During a burnout (in competitive mode, 1st gear holding the brake) it starts to kick a little sideways well when the car shifted to the side it kicked the passenger side tire out (stopped spinning it), straightened, then kicked the right side in, kicked the left side out, finished straightening and then I let off the brake and spun straight and what seemed to be normal. I made the pass and never had another issue with it. No noises. Is the differential designed to kick wheels side to side or is something about to break? Thanks

That's how a lsd works. Search online and you will find skid mark pics of exactly what you describe.
