    Mine did it with the 1.25 front bar but stopped when I went to the 1.125.

    The runway is crowned, the course workers on the opposite side from my buddy Matt with my camera said there was dam near an inch of daylight...

    You can't convince me this kind of handling behavior is desirable in a vehicle being driven at the limit. I'd prefer it'd never happen when dancing with the limits of grip.
    Ever seen a continental sports car challenge race? The porches commonly lift the front inside wheel. If that setup makes the car feel the best/fastest to you, who cares if the contact patch of each tire isn't optimal?

    You three wheel because all the weight goes to the opposite tire. Its common I'm autocross braking hard and turning in. All the weight goes to the outside front tire and lifts the inner rear. Contact patch or not...there isn't much or any weight on that wheel so it really doesn't matter st that point.

    Not necessarily. More indicative of reduced droop travel whether from shortened suspension or stiff bar. If most of the weight is transferred to the outside rear accelerating out of a corner, lifting the front inside wheel is not an issue. It's basically just along for the ride anyway.

    I think the intent of the OP was to see stance cars that can't make it into driveways anyway.

    Edit: Reading comprehension bites me in the ass yet again. The OP did say he was interested in seeing racing cars, too. I may just quit reading if I can't do it any better than that! Sheesh.
