THE 2019 WORLD POWER WHEELSTANDING CHAMPIONSHIPS
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
For the latest in drag racing news, visit www.competitionplus.com.
The best way to describe Byron Dragway's World PowerWheelstanding Championships is the event carries the same logic as Red Bull's FlugTag competition. If you're not familiar, the FlugTag is where contestant after contestant construct improbable flight machines which they fly off of a cliff and crash into the water below.
The World Power Wheelstanding Championships brings together a group of fearless, gravity-defying drivers who risk crashing their machines for a $10,000 pot of gold for the longest sustained wheelie down the iconic Byron Dragway.
There's carnage. There's edge of the seat excitement, and in our case, a true Blair Witch Project-style ending. Check it out, it's pure fringe horsepower entertainment at its finest.

Great job putting this together CompetitionPlus. Thanks! Notables.... Jeff Wild! When he wasn't in the seat of his Skylark, he was on the starting line encouraging all of the other contestants. Jeff is first rate with the fans and his enthusiasm is infectious. Greg Broshous in the "High and Wild" Chevy II is hardcore.... The only stick shifted car in competition, Greg is pulling gears wheels up. Rick Johnson in the X-frame Chevy got the Session 1 damaged fixed to provide more great photos in Session 2. Thanks Rick! Chicagoland Super Stocks...great bunch of guys with beautiful cars that aren't afraid to hammer 'em..... Wes Newman.... Thanks for getting our heart rate up! Chris Pearce and Team Chinto.... Truly a great family, another fan favorite, and deserving World Power Wheel Stand Champion. The videographer... She did great. Byron Dragway... Awesome staff, great track. Can't say enough about them. The fans...Your support has made this successful for 25 years.

That Pinto never gets old. A right handful that thing is. I have a stock one and they are hard to drive from the factory haha
Lol at the end. Awesome job filming!

Very powerful muscle cars awesome 👏 I aways go To these events all the time day come I’m almost done with my project too Can’t wait to see how much my 86 c10 truck pulls aright guys
@1:25 "so much torque, the chassis twisted off the line"
Had to get the hell out the way on that last one!!!!
Does anyone have another angle of Jason Schubert's car grinding the rail @ 4:30 ?? That was wicked!
11:02 That skid sounded like the 1960's sound effects they used to put in nascar films!!
WOW Thanks Guys!
Play 12:20 at 1/2 speed. All four tires off the ground three times. Listen to the RPM change each time. AND... Hollywood should not have been allowed to even stage in that condition. Asking for a spectator death. They actually thought it might go straight?!?!
The guy in the Camaro has been destroying that car for years....
Been watching these for years, it's always a pleasure but we need more trucks. There's just something about a full size on the bumper.

That '59 Chevy got bent out of shape , they are elevating without wheelie bars
That's some serious cajones doin this in a convertible
That red pinto was straight banging gears...while up in the air...getting it too..
I just noticed that the third clip sounded like dom's charger in the first fast and furious movie (the race with the supra)
I think Green Camaros have surpassed Mustangs as the notorious crowd killer.
The "Ford Chinto". Lol!
What a wild ride fkn hell
Awsome video but wanted to see that last run lol
Run Linda, run!
The 59 Biscayne getting up there shocked me

The camera person at the you should of left the camera keep recording instead of you running with it
ARE YOU TELLING ME NO ONE HAD FOOTAGE OF THE FUCKING CRASH????? Yes I was yelling. FUCK..... I feel like Clark Griswald. You just gave me a year subscription to the jelly of the FUCKING month club!
That chinto!!!! Omg!!
My impala did that with one switch on 14/7 wheels going down the highway at 60 lol
O sea el del Camaro verde que pensaba que era destruir el coche eso es la competencia?
esse primeiro carro vermelho e top de mais
nice show
I figured the green Camaro was gonna hit BOTH walls when I saw how bent it was but the camera man ran for his life so we'll never know!
Uve seen that green camaro smashed in other vids
What a way to end the video!!
Man really dropped the ball with the camera on the last shot with a busted up Camaro come on man thanks for sharing I guess

It’s probably not his first frame and that green camaro has busted the same a few different years whatch previous years that Chevy and the camaro launch the same all the time wen the camaro first stated it was beatiful car but now it looks all hacked up the rear quarters look like he cut them for bigger tires unless he decided to park the original ambrosie is prob the best at this show he hasn’t won in a few years but chinto is awesome also ther used to be a 68 or so barracuda that’s done well also chinto will be hard to beat only ambrosia can have a chance
Too much money lost just for the applause!🎱 But its fun to watch!👍

I thinkbthe idea is to do wheelstands with the cars as they race. You could build a car to do wheelies all the way down purpose built. But than your just building a wheelstander and ed jones would roll in and show everyone how its done.
lmfao what a cliffhanger
Pretty much just like Blair Witch. A lot of nothing save for a good moment or two, and a sudden shocking ending that leaves you with more questions than answers.
Montecarlo rojo pensó que la competencia era destruirlo contra el muro 🤔🙄😬

That was a recap from 2017 to add context for the 2019 event. Jason rebuilt the car after that 2nd place finish in 2017.
Here's another video from a different angle. Shows what happened with the last car, Wes "Hollywood" Nelson, when he headed for the wall. Doesn't have a different angle of the flashback of Jason Schubert's 2017 wreck. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qJ2J1q6Hk863gZM.html This video shows Jason's 2017 contact with the wall from a different angle. kzread.info/dash/bejne/k2ud0MWie6qxZqQ.htmlsi=WsSPcYWOfBh93ZOU&t=1529

I don't know if that thing's powered by a built 409-based engine or if it's something else. What I do know is that those cars have the wildest tendency to twist like that when you put power to them because of the chassis and suspension.

OK so 2 take aways, take the wheelie bars off (duh) and make sure your suspension is way over built. Watching the heavy cars come down that hard was tough to watch. Otherwise it's bad a$$ and the drivers have ice water in their veins.
