Your car was doing it pretty consistently, capturing a picture of it shouldn't be difficult.

But... for a RWD car, popping the rear wheel up is not really a good thing. Might be good for your drift setup... maybe. With one rear wheel in the air, you definitely can't put down any power.

FWIW, real autox prepared RWD cars (read: Not Streetable, but fully purpose-built for autox) tend to life a front tire in such circumstances. They have the rear set soft enough to hook up hard and allow them to power out of a turn... doing so lifts the inside rear tire. If you think watching a rear tire lift is fun... front tire lift is amazing!

I've seen Corvettes, old Datsun Z cars (BP cars), Porsches (AP cars) and built Camaros/Mustangs (CP cars) do it.

(we'll make an autocrosser out of you yet, Matt )

i got a few good still shots of you spinning out, taken with someone else's camera. it'll be a while before i have the pics. even better, i took some good shots of my red neon burning oil. (the problem is fixed now, and for less than $30.)

This footage that my brother's friend took has the Land Yacht and a few others in it.

I'm waiting patiently to be able to post it--it should contain shots for most of those requesting them.
