I've also gone 3-wheelin in my car back in my newbie track days. Definitely not good driving techniques, cuz you only have 3 wheels with traction then (less traction = less moving). You don't really feel it in the heat of the moment .

I could feel it, but it was not real noticeable. I would disagree that it is due to bad driving technique as I saw some very experienced driver's lifting a tire and have seen professionals doing it as well. It really has more to do with the car's setup.

Unless you hit an obstacle or go off a steep drop, the chances of actually flipping an Evo are practically zero...

I can see that being ok with the FWD cars, but not any other. Our cars you can get away with it, cuz we still have 3 tires gripping and pulling the road, but if you do that to RWD...forget it.

edit: never mind. it's a video cam. 720x480.
