Felt bad for the Cutlass. Could've gone forever if the wall wasnt there.

No kidding if it wasn’t for the wall he could’ve kept going until he decided he didn’t want to go any further and set it back down

when i saw the thumbnail, i thought this was clickbait LOL this is a great video
lets be honest, the Chinto at 4:43 was the first real competitor, even if it DID wiff twice beforehand.
Those cars with the long rear ends are not going to do good
I believe Bo Duke would be proud on the 2 wheel sideways save

That was unreal wasn't it? I couldn't believe what I saw while filming it, and it was even more awesome to play with the video when editing it. That guy for sure had to change his shorts after that one. ha ha. Thanks for watching Shawn!
the guy driving the cutlass was probably really confused when he started rolling
Damn that 885' was nuts!!! but is that man's back ok????!!!! he looked like it got all sorts of messed up!!! Either way THAT IS HOW YOU PUT ON A SHOW!!!!!!
That black Chevy luv truck looked fun as hell to drive

I have a Hot Wheels Little Red Wagon. I never saw it in person. I did see Hemi Under Glass though along with some other wheelstanders that had engines way in back so it wasn’t a big deal to stand them up. Hemi Under Glass I believe his engine was in the middle. I understand the Little Red Wagon had engine in the middle right behind the cab with separate rear brake levers so he could control it with front end in the air. I think they were all set up similar. I also saw four engine dragsters - I don’t even know how they were set up. They weren’t really that hot. Novelty stuff in early 70s. Best of all I got to witness E.J.Potter the Michigan Madman on his big block Chevy motorcycle kicking it off the center stand going side to side all four lanes and doing 200 mph. You wouldn’t believe it if you saw it.

Thanks for watching Keri! And yeah I must admit that was one of the coolest things I have seen at a wheelie contest. I found out afterwards that he actually locked up the left front tire when he put all that weight on it, so when you see the white smoke coming from it he is just moving and the left front tire is not spinning at all. I would take that damage any day considering what could have happened. TomEighty
Haha it's better in person. I wish I could join yall it's been 9 years since I seen a contest. I can't believe how long some of these boys been doing it lol. God I miss racing. Please say hi to Todd Klinger for me from Jack Fessler in the tower next time he's there. He been racing for 15+ years with yall. Props

My grandfather drove a red Gremlin in the early 80s. Never crossed my mind at that time that I would ever see one do a wheelstand, much less for 885'.

Thanks Franz, I'm glad you like the videos I'm putting out! And yes that black truck was about the craziest thing I have ever seen. I found out later that his left front wheel actually locked up from slamming down like that and was dragging the whole way after that. You can see some white smoke coming off of it the further he goes down the track. Pretty wild. TomEighty

CHINTO!!!
They all should have conceded after watching that monza's run....the ONLY one who could have beat him definitely spent half the winnings repairing the mess. The cutlass was the sad point for sure.
Damn that pinto is gooooood

Only 10k to win Byron?? WTF ??. When I won the World power wheelstand championship at Byron in 2006 I got paid $20,000.. why in the hell is he only paying $10,000 to win 11 years later?.. come on Ron and BJ loosen up!!.

Great question. In 2014 Aj Fiorelli did a wheelie almost all the way to the quarter mile marker (1,141 feet). The previous record was 660ft before that. Here is a video I shot of that wheelie. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aadn0ZqjadCxqJs.html

You should edit out the boring footage. We came to see wheelstands, not endless staging.
