If the brake shoe is dragging a little on one side then the results are what you described with an open rear end. One may turn faster than the other at first until they even out even with no brake drag.
With the car in park and the rear wheels off of the ground (engine off) spin one tire by hand. If you have an open rear then the opposite tire will turn the opposite direction. With a posi/limited slip rear end neither side will turn performing this same test unless you put the tranny in nuetral and then they will turn the same direction when you turn one by hand. These test are based on good brakes (no dragging brake shoes)
