No ....... not me anyway.
I'm sure that a passenger puts more weight on the rear tires than the wing. As the wing is only about a foot and a half behind the axle the leverage is not too much, a passengers weight would probably split half and half front and rear.
It's tougher to do burn outs with a heavy passenger on board.
