Summary: Lifting *both* inside wheels happens, too...

I spent some weekends at Watkins Glen in the early 70's, watching
all kinds of racing, including SCCA, Can-Am, Trans-Am, 12-hour
enduros and F1.  The sports-sedan racers especially used to lift
their inside front wheels, particularly around an uphill left-hander
(where the new loop of the course rejoins the old course).  I have some
photos of a couple of Capris that took that particular corner with
both inside wheels about 6-8 inches off the ground.  Pretty
spectacular balancing act...
