If you read the comments left at the bottom, the Cutlass that rolled, won $10k which wasn't enough to repair the damage done to the car.

I can watch this video over and over. You get a good idea of how a suspension can unload the rear tires if the front end comes up too much especially if it hits the wheelie bars hard enough.

There is a 68 Camaro that runs at our track, called True Grit. Has been around since the Late sixtys, same owner driver. He does wheelies like that with a 4 speed. Second gear is almost as high. Quite a show, but he is all over the track. Came real close to the rail today. Last race of the season for us.
