Most of that is just the suspension.
No, it's the chassis.

The torque from the engine trying to spin off its mounts is actually twisting the car. Many a street car have been over build and under reinforced and ended up with one of the front wheels permanently frozen off the ground.

If you look at other dragsters, you'll see that the front wheels never come off the ground simultaneously. Always one side first.
