Is it a Wheelie? - Need input

I took my IROC-Z out to the track last night and launched it very hard, i felt the front end come up a LOT with the back squatting also. From different Viewpoints, i'd like to know if yall think i pulled the driver's side wheel off the ground. even if i could slide a piece of paper under it... did it come up enough?

Also, Some funny people in the video commenting My Iroc and my buddy's Trans Am

Mine - 1989 IROC-Z 5.7L 357. full bolt-on L98 / T-5 (2 1/4" exhaust

)

His - 1996 Trans-am. Full bolt-on LT1 w/tune

I consider a wheelie when both tires leave the ground. The most you might have done is lift the front driver.

No, a wheelie is both front wheels off the ground. You just had a great launch, and pulled the left front

Woah buddy. Your forgot to roll the R.

(Mmmm roll up the rim to win

)

But I'd say you have to lift both of the to count as a wheelie...either way..nice launch!
