While the "tire prep" can make a difference in traction, it takes more than tire prep to pop wheelies.
I do find it interesting that he does a couple short dry burnouts when competing and not spinning the tires in the "water box". The metal screws in the rim, low tire pressure, using inner tubes and short, dry burnouts is "old school" stuff that still works. Tire compounds have changed over the last 50 years too.
.....Just my two cents worth.

There is major money involved in that operation.

Whats "stiction" ?
Yes, there is major money involved. But, you need "major power" to pop the front wheels.

Yes, but I thought I saw one tire in the video that had them on both sides. If the rules permitted, I would have them on the inside and the outside. I used a lot fewer screws.

[QUOTE=OLDSter Ralph;1555751]Yes, but I thought I saw one tire in the video that had them on both sides.
You right watched the video again and the Vette has screws on both sides of the rim. I agree I would rather have screws on both sides and fewer of them, just like the way we used to run them. Why they were on only one side of the Camaro ?
