You know who did the same thing 5,000 years ago? The Hindsite back motor funny car, Pomona, 1974. See post below this.

Go to 2:40, better yet, watch the whole video. Woody Hatten, enjoyed his work with SS&DI in the 70s and 80s

First time I ever saw someone wheelie the entire track was a guy named Kevin Cram out at the old 1/4 mile Thunder Road Raceway Park in Shreveport, LA around 2010 or 2011. I was in awe. I think that was around the time that Nelson and Marla Hoyos were running it, before they went to SGMP.
Side note: They were actually supposed to buy the track and the owner backed out after they had already invested their own money into maintenence, repairs, and upkeep. They ended up going to court over it and I believe they left TRRP and went to SGMP specifically because of what happened.
I didn't realize it at the time but Greg(and Aaron?) & Mike Stanfield were out there at Test n Tune every weekend with their red 3rd Gen. I've known Mike & his wife, Michele, for 30+ years, at least.

This is the guy that wheelied the whole track. He was driving a badass twin? turbo Camaro that was orange & black, IIRC. It may have been this car. All I know is it must have been doing 150+ by the end of the track. It was pretty crazy to watch in-person for the first time. That was back when Sam Harvey was out there every weekend too. Long before he was on Street Outlaws.
Even Brian Lohnes wrote an article about Kevin Cram back in 2010. Didn't know that. https://bangshift.com/general-news/...-hates-to-have-the-front-tires-on-the-ground/
