I'm 66 and I remember watching at Motor City drag way . the Little Red Wagon do a wheelie all the way A 1/4 mile down the strip , and when he had to stop , the driver said he could have gone into the corn field at the end of the track . Good times and different attitudes ! I/m Blessed to have lived it .
As one of my old car buddies (passed away now) used to ‘tongue in cheek’ say…”the height of foolishness!” It is, but I love it!! Thanks for the awesome video!!!
2:05 Some kind of custom injection system on that Olds?!? Looks pretty much like a Top-Fuel injection system, but without the supercharger. Barrel valve, bird catcher that actually IS the throttle valve, and mechanical injectors. 👌 Looks sweet! 👍
Costs WAY too much money to build a car from just a pile of metal. A former road car is the most economical way to build a drag car. Many guys use will use a classic car that is too far gone to restore it to a show car, and this is what you see here. It's a much better alternative than just letting a classic car sit there, rot away, and return to the earth. Unfortunately, a guy can't save em all... 🤷 😟
Separate tractor type breaks are the key so you can steer your ride AND the old guy’s would have a window in the floor to see where they were headed Yeah and there used to be these things called wheelly bars to control height and lift the back tires for epic burnouts But that’s the 70’s for ya
Those were leverage wheelstanders. Engines mounted high in the back. V-drives. These are POWER wheelies. Engines where they belong. Done with horsepower, torque, and rear suspension settings Way more impressive than a leverage style wheelstander (that a couple normal guys can lift the front off the ground.)

Lots of wonderful Americans enjoying cars and time with family!!

LS George needs to enter the Blazer 🤑
Amazing footage! (I want to cry when I see a classic car converted. But, What can you do?).

Does jeff wild have a name for his passenger or is it just named frank?
👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching👍
2:13 wasn't this the one that rollovered years ago and got all f*cked up? Looks like he built it back to pristine condition.
Sweet he made an awesome job rebuilding it@@JSIV-j7p
I think a few of these rolled over. There was one that even slid on the wall iirc
They look just like LIFE SIZED HOT WHEELS
How did the purple olds not win?
Except when you can't see where you are going anymore😂
I prefer this over drag races
Dang it i missed another one
yoo-hoo sheest howdy. Hey Cletus, hand me another PBR and some fried chicken
😎🥰😎
👍
Where is this?
Byron Illinois Byron Dragway
About how much added weight behind the rear axle does it take to get a door-slammer to wheelstand?
a metric shit ton to be exact.
ZERO....
I can drag my rear bumper with a completely empty trunk.. 🤷
Sit the ex on there should do it
@@davelowets Uh huh. Surrre you can.
Git it gator 🤩 they're all so 😎😎😎
Love the Gremlin
This is what you do with your car when you are bored and dont know what to do with it.
This Camera guy needs to be fired. Missed the first best stand and crash at the same time,
The spectator covered the whole shot in front of me by rising his hands. I was mad!!!
@@AutoMotoCha9L 😆 🤣 I was too, I was like, wait what, oh no that didn't just happen, everything else was good tho.
Deez boys have balls dat clang big n loud
That Barracuda!!!
Are U able to......whellie while BURNiNG rubber 😢
Hell yeah
That's too much Bean's for that Pinto.
wheelie bars dont get it done buddy
These guys are nuts I wouldn’t take a Chance ruining a classic. Better to use a modified Honda . I mean how much money can you win.
Agreed. It must be nice to just piss money away like last night’s bender.
This has nothing to do with politics and your electric car
Some people are annoying by trying to find the deeper meaning. It is just cars doing wheelies.
Algo de locos
I 💕😘 junk. Hell yeah
All the problems in the world, but your god has time to make sure you can do wheelies with your Pinto.
Perez Robert Williams Lisa Jones Thomas
Cool to watch, but these guys are trashing out the rear of their cars after every pass.
That's part of the fun😂
They got the money
...........knot
Bbbn🎉

I don’t get why this is a thing? Must be because I did not vote Trump….
Its silly ridiculous fun. It's not that deep.
Because it's fun
... You probably don't get it because most Democrats drive rice burning 300zx's perhaps? .🤷🏻♂️
@@waynewells359 don’t be silly! There are not enough 300ZX’s left for most Democrats.
Hmmm. I'm a Democrat and this rocks
See that plane in the sky no how about now😂😂😂
This was stupid first time i saw it
Like you're neighbor
