I love this video. Thank you, I really appreciate watching this. Great job to everyone who competed in the competition. Great job for making the video.

The green Hollywood car is hilarious 😂

This is an awesome event thanks for the coverage. I've seen a Black 59 Impala a few times. I had seen him at Beech Bend Ky a couple of times and that car has some sic torque in that motor. I knew he would not win the wheel stand event because he couldn't carry the front end that long. Great job Tom.

As usual, the green Camaro always wrecks. Not a question of if. It’s when.

Happy New Year, Tom. Thanks for all the great videos. Cheers.

That orange big block Gremlin bouncing off the rear bumper and peddling the throttle has got to be my favorite!!

Lol 11:40 mark the green blown car guy is a professional car wrecker

The "Chinto" is setup pretty good. Just the right amount of power and balance... No pedalling or screwing around, just mat it, let go of the transbrake, and let come up and bobble around on the rear bumper by itself. 👌

Thank you so much for sharing!

The person in the 68 baracuda wins it..totally epic!

Go AJ......👍👍 Lol...... gotta love it! Many thanx Tom. Got to get to Byron 1 Day. It's on my "Bucket list" 😉

The older barracuda is it seems other best to set up for wheel stands I love this there’s nothing better than dragracing as long as you’re behind the wheel

Just AWESOME... Thank you#1

Everyone hating on the green camaro. Get a life. He's having fun and entertaining. Yalks some haters

That Gremlin took all four wheels off the ground, and blew the back window out, at a wheel standing event. But the real OG is a 68 Barracuda, hemi-powered, motor in the front, that SOB went the whole 1320 and part of the Slowdown Lane on two wheels. He did it like he was on Rails too. it was amazing to see a car running a 10-second quarter mile, at over 125 miles an hour, on two wheels. No plexiglass floors, either. Balls of steel my friend. Special mention of the car that did a near perfect wheel stand, but veered into the left guard rail on two wheels. When he got close to that guardrail I almost wanted to yell at him, to get out of it. Car was pretty, too. Oh and then there was the green 68 Camaro. Yeah that guy came down too hard and fucked up his car, went into the guardrail. So what does he do? Keeps on doing wheelies until he beats the front end off of it. Yeah, that wasn't his brightest Shining Moment. But yeah, that 68 Barracuda for the win.💯

Wow !!!😳 I never saw a convertible do a wheelie before this video 👍🏽

Thanks for your time and the best.fun👍👍👍👍👍👀😊

The guy that drives the green camaro seems to have a grudge against that car,lol !

Best wheel stands ever seen

Thank you very much

Have a great new years.

Back in the day, when NHRA still did 1/4 miles I had seen a number of wheel standers go the distance on a half mile strip, if I recall they did not nose down until well after the 1/4 mile. The strip, that's easy, was at York US 30 back in the late 70's. Was a great place for drags as there was plenty of over flow area for safety. Remember one was a tank, one was a cop car, and a few other various vehicles. By the way that is the same strip where Sammy Miller lost the "Spirit of 76" body one night before he built the "Vanishing Point" the following year. Guess that was 76 or 77 not sure exact year. I do have a photo of the "spirit" in the pits before it came apart.

37:15 I don't need any front end, it's a wheelie contest. He had to feel how bad it was like crazy and to take it all the way, he launches that many horses with a bad front end. Stuff legends are made of, I was surprised he wasn't stopped by the track staff.

You can tell the guy with the small orange car was having fun.

1:43 those early barracudas are really good for wheelies, u guys may of seen the orange one that managed to hold a wheelie to the end of the strip, may be the same car but different colour

Well the pinto got all four wheels off the ground I see, as well. Yeah I don't know if it was Byron Dragway but it was definitely another wheel stander event, because that 68 Barracuda that went the full 1320 and change, was in the right lane.

john petri did the first quater mile wheelie in Canada i believe.

Most of these cars have same problem. All of the weight is in the front. Move all of that weight( engine, tranny) to the rear like Hemi under glass and the little Red Wagon. Then set up your steering like those big old modified pilling tractors, Hand throttle, individual brake pedals for the brakes. Then put a window in the floorboard to see the track while the car is up in the air.

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video. I believe... but don't know 100% for sure but the group of guys in this event try to keep the vehicles looking like a regular street car or race car and not a purpose built wheelie car. I know they have a lot of pride in what they do and want to separate themselves from purpose built wheelie cars that are made to do quarter mile wheelies with no problems. These kind of wheelie have an art to it between balance off the back bumper and the amount of power you can throw at it before the rear tires get off the ground and slam the car back down to earth.

The drivers view going over the wall …. !!!!

6:06 baby!

What about a rear-engine car? What would it be like if all that torque didn't have to lift an engine block off the ground?
