If you will notice in the slow motion shot of the takeoff that when he did the wheelie on the take off that the driver turned the front wheels to the right then when the front end came back down on the ground the caster tried to turn the wheels to the straight ahead position which caused both front wheels to wobble back and forth until they settled into the straight ahead position. All very normal...

That car had some really good traction...

EDIT: After looking the slow motion over again and again I am not too sure if that Buick GN might not of also had a broken tie rod end on the right side. It's really hard to determine but it looks like the right front wheel is turning way more to the right, at times, than the left front wheel. Some one else look at the slow motion and tell me what you think???

2ndEDIT: I just stepped through the slow motion part frame by frame and it sure does look like there is a problem with the right front wheel following the same track of the left wheel... Am I just dreaming???...haha...

ya something looked wrong here too. but he still had control? i see both wheels wippin back in forth pretty evenly..like he let go of the wheel for sec when it landed to auto straighten out? i dunno..:iono:

edit: or like he let the wheel slip through his fingers on landing?..
