Videos first:

Both Bill and Andy were on two wheels at times.
I couldn't believe how high off the ground Bill got his car.

When I was looking through the camera viewfinder I really thought Bill was going to roll his car

Andy also got some air on the same corner location on the course.
You can hear his car thud back down when it lands.

LOL

was that on concrete?

I have never seen a car on 2 wheels in all these years. Must be some really sticky surface

I've seen plenty. But yeah, most of the two-wheelin' adventures I've seen have been on concrete. Not to say that I haven't seen it on asphalt, I have, both from the sidelines and from the driver's seat. But concrete is more likely to generate those kinds of grip levels.

But it's not just grip that does it. Suspension plays a very crucial role. If the suspension runs out of travel, and bottoms out, you can get pretty much anything onto two wheels.

VW's, Saturn's, Mazda's, BMW's, Toyota's, Honda's, Porsche's even. If it's on four wheels, sooner or later, someone will figure out how to load it up enough to get it up onto two wheels...
