anthony851 they run maybe at special events but not in the National NHRA events with Top Fuel , Funny Cars and ProSock Cars . Probably safety concerns. However that was my point if they alter the rules like longer wheelbase and proper wheelie bars making them more manageable they would be a great addition to the lineup .

Besides the strip looks colorful "nice", I could sworn the Vega was going to be in the middle 6"sec.

Shiftube.... I always ran Wheelie Bars on my FED's, after I nearly had a total blow-over and wrecked the chassis, back in the 70s, because "wheelie bars" were for sissie's... so they said! From there, on out I ran them, but I set them so that the front end would only lift about 5" on the hit, which forced the slicks to really dig in and bite hard... and lowered my et's because when you're riding up on the ring gear, you're losing forward movement... am a firm believer in the bars, at least for FED's... which is all I ever owned and raced.

am i allowed to ask what the line of people are doing at the end of the track are they gonna try to catch the cars if they dont stop

Maybe you are distracted by the total disregard for the peoples will by the political classes. The wheelstand bent the wheelie bar causing the front wheels to go higher than wished and when the wheels came down the chassis was bent and the sump hit the ground.
