The car goes straight every pass so we don't worry about it. Done 100s of wheelstands but this one went further than most.Short shift to 3rd it will come down everytime. I now have a wheelie bar on it but its under the bumper and it still pulls huge wheelies but it will not go past 200 feet anymore. Thanks for watching.
Hands down one of the most impressive 1/4 mile runs on youtube....This lady can race a car with nerves of steel!!!...shit I would have needed a pair of Depends myself to make that kind of run....Lisa you're awesome!!!
That almost made me cry. Loved it. One of the better in-car camera vids due to the 1st to 3rd wheel stand. Like the angle too. Full driver foot to helmet and full windshield shot.
@@S_C_A_R_F_A_C_E Judging by the fact that it looks to be a 73-76 A body Mopar (Dart Swinger, Dart Sport, Scamp, or a Duster, I am going out on a limb and I’ll say it’s a 727 Torqueflite or a 904 Torqueflite (small block only), both of which are only 3 speed automatics
Love the video. Love watching Lisa just go through the gears while still in the wheelie. Lisa is a great person and racer and Steve your not half bad either LOL Take care.
That is crazy driving skill! Great job. And to all the haters with the thumbs down I'd like to see you try that! I bet most of you have never run the 1/4 before.
@@americanpride9733 Watched many GOOD drag race videos. The pass was shown more than once, once in slow motion from inside and outside the car. Then in the pits the car got a walk-a-round and the engine was shown along with some info from the driver about the run and some details about the car and engine. THIS WAS A REAL HALF-ASS VIDEO.
Well from what i've seen in other videos that's the way she wants it. Oherwise there'd be some wheelie bars, etc. But you gotta have faith that car is going to go arrow straight down that track when you stand it up.
+Tyler Luckenbill -- Actually, the suspension does NOT 'need more tuning'. Cars with close to stock ride height with relatively high horsepower/torque usually need a good amount of weight transfer in order to hook up properly on many tracks. Had you attended AND paid close attention to many of the NHRA or IHRA Stock and Super Stock classes, you would have noticed what they do as well as figured out why they left the line with a usual wheelstand. If they didn't wheelie, most would not hook up as well, nor would they ET as well. 90/10 - 60/40 and similar shock combos have been used to help accomplish this weight transfer effectively for several decades. --- True, being on the back wheels only while shifting into 3rd gear is a bit excessive for optimum ETs. This car doesn't necessarily do 3 gear wheelies on every pass. A lower torque convertor stall speed, a different cam profile, higher final drive gear ratio, etc. could all be implemented IF that is what the owners chose to do while leaving the car's ride height and suspension tuning exactly the same. Doing any or all of the aforementioned would likely help to accomplish lower wheelies but it is NOT a guarantee this car would hook up and ET considerably better than it does when in the same tune as in this video. Lisa never had to lift while on this pass so she was hooked up AND at full power the entire run. Regardless, the owners are doing what they choose to do and more power to them. It is an exciting car for most any true racing enthusiast and they have a blast with their car. Apparently, that's what they want to do and neither you or I has a say in the matter, nor do we have experience with all the nuances of this particular car and the best way to obtain it's lowest ET. I'd be willing to bet they do.
OMG, I recognize that dashboard. Have had a 1972 and 1976 Dodge Dart. Mine had exactly the same level of performance, except totally different in every last detail.
Nothing better than seeing the car run the track in a matter of seconds and watching it take minutes to return. Gives you a real appreciation of the beast she is drivin :))).
You mean, she's got a better car then most out there... Anyone can do a wheel stand if the car is setup to do that shit. Much respect to the driver anyway...
I have probubly watched this 20 or 30 times now, i giggle everytime, at that wheelstand and how calm you are,you my good woman are are a beast ! all that after they kept you at the line for what seemed like a lifetime, crazy nice lick, keep putting them on the trailer you rock !!
Lisa - thanks for the reply. Have been to Samoa way back when I was younger. After I looked at some of your other video's I realized you have raced at Sacramento and Infinion and I know them well because I lived in Roseville for many years. Actually I used to help a racer you probably know of back when he raced a certain 1955 Chevy, that would be Dave Riolo who was a neighbor and long time friend. Had not been to Sac much in the last ten years, so probably have not watched you. Chris Borges may have raced against you, I will have to ask him. Very nice videos and it is good to see a car set up to run straight when only the rear wheels are on the ground.
My ex wife's grandparents bought Shirley Muldowney's house here in Michigan. That was back around 2011. None of that family had a clue who she was. I about freaked out when I first heard about it and nobody even told me until after the fact! Shirley gave them a copy of Heart Like A Wheel and they were all impressed with her story. Again by the time I found this out the deal was already done and they all parted ways. I would have LOVED to meet her. Could have told her stories watching her race top fuel at Indy back in early 80s. I can even remember seeing her race back in the mid 1970s at the old Detroit dragway. Don't remember exactly what event but also remember seeing Raymond Beatle in the Blue Max funny car that day too. I would have been single digits of age and stood next to the zoomies in the pits with the car jacked up during the warm up session. Bad for the ears please don't ever do that without hearing protection, as I did get permanent losses starting way back then because that happened on several occasions. I remember back around this time thinking Shirley didn't move that far away from the house she sold and got to thinking hmmm she is single and so is my dad... LoL, again I never actually got the chance to meet her. Another thing I would have done if given the opportunity would have been to bring along my portable practice Christmas tree and go rounds with the great Shirley Muldowney! I'm still kinda pissed about all that and notice in my opening sentence I said my "ex wife" 😆
She has done that a lot of times and has confidence in the car or she would have bailed on that. Great run, I’m guessing 10 second car? Awesome run, great driver.
When the car came down from the wheelstand my wife lifted off the throttle ,checked the rearview mirror for smoke and never put the throttle back down on the floor.She said she only had it half throttle through the traps. That wheelstand was UNexpected as usually it sets the wheels down after the 1 2 shift! It shook her up a bit but she drove the car very well. lol

Much respect for staying in the gas. You have that car setup right! 👍👍
I do not know why this showed up in my feed today but 11 years later it is still impressive. Nice run! Excellent driving!
Showed in my feed today.
Impressive !!
Mine to! Damn! What a ride high gear before the front wheels touch! Somebody better check her for Kahoonies!
12 years later for me... Impressive wheelie!
Agreed, that was bad ass , and you can tell she’s true racer cause she shaking her head cause she went slower cause the wheeley. #ballsofsteel
This woman is absolutely an incredible driver!
One of the Most Impressive 1/4 mile runs on TH-cam!!!! One badass car driven by one Talented lady!!!!

Too bad that Chris from Continental hung it up; One of the best Converter Gurus ever!
Thanks for the details
Wow, never let off the throttle. Would love to see footage from outside!
Couldn't see, she must've felt she was going straight enough. Damn. Bigger balls than mine.
Thats some fine driving there.. cool as can buy while staring up at the sky
Haha I just said the same thing! Wow!
She pulls the wheels every runbat Milan dragway
@@soconoha8495 She’s looking at the wall to her left. That’s you gauge when you can’t see out the front.
That is the most addicting feeling in the world and the majority of people on the planet will never experience that rush.
I have , nothing like it. Wreaked many cars as well
Lisa is a class act...saw her at Sonoma. Great display of drag racing talent at the average level.
Love how concentrate she is, how she make sure everything is safe and fine. She is fully involved in what she do. Fine racer.
I love how you are so relaxed and "at home" behind the wheel. Great job.
How many guys have the nuts to stay in it when they see sky. Hats off , nice driving.
Man,,,,and where does she keep em.
mastersduhgree on her chest
No, I'd be the first to bust the front suspension...
@@SaveMeSteak chestnuts
If you lift your last.
Short shifted so the front end would come down. I have a wheelie bar now,
..
That was amazing!
Damn, you are one helluva driver. Period. Best of luck going forward!
What happened to 4th gear?

The haters are just jealous, as soon as they saw the sky they would have shit themselves and backed off!
I dont see any haters
@@americanpride9733 I hated waiting for more in the video after the 10 second pass.
@@badron9245 On a 8 minute video you can assume youre gonna have to wait a bit for the pull to start, just skip around

Awesome!! She has my utmost respect. My wife is all inspired now and wants to take my 10.5 car out for a spin:-)
For those of you as impatient as me, it happens at 2:19
vanpenguin22 thanks 👍
Then 6+ minutes waiting for .......what? Could have taken the camera out in the pits and showed us the car and the motor. Piss-poor video.
@@badron9245 make a better one with your car.
I skipped ahead, oh about 2 minutes, i think. FINALLY! I said. JESUS!
I don’t know how I came across this video...but I am so glad I did! Holy crap! You never let off! You stayed in the whole way!
Man alive... Ma'am you can definitely drive. Seeing nothing but clouds and STILL shifting like it was just a normal day haha
Holy crap! Grabbing 3rd with the front wheels still off the ground! That's when you know the setup on the car is right.
Actually it means the suspension needs more tuning. wheelies slow you down. Fun to do though

@@racer774 Awwchoobullshit. No fucking body wants to wheel stand period. Slow ET's and tore up suspensions.
@@johnlaws9230 fans love it and you lose time....spinning ain't winning and you add to your et but you have to admit it's a nice piece of driving.
I wanted to see the outside of the car too!

I've got to stick this in my favorites. NEVER LIFTED! LIKE A FUCKING BOSS!!!!
That's the confidence you get when your suspension is so dialed-in you're going nothing but straight

Incredible driving skills Lisa! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome ride, awesome job of driving!! Thanks for the submission!!
Now that is a driver. Pulling for third while the wheels are still in the air. Great car!
Damn she's got more balls than a lot of male drivers out there. Stayed on it the whole pass. Badass!
You mean, she's got a better car then most out there... Anyone can do a wheel stand if the car is setup to do that shit. Much respect to the driver anyway...
+JesusChristNeverLived I hope one day we can all be as cool as you. It must be really awesome, to be so awesome. Please tell us more!
The average Joe will let up when the front wheels leave the ground. She was in it til she quit it.
David Smith well letting off can do more damage to the car.
This is true. I am just saying most will lift off the throttle.
The commitment in keeping your foot into it when all you can see is sky is phenomenal.
Hats off to you!!!!! Spot on great driving!!!!
This just showed up on my feed too. I used to race with Lisa and Steve back when I was stationed at San Francisco 2000-2005.
Love it !!! And much respect for her keeping her cool and not letting out.
Congratulations Lisa. Nice Launch! You have my respect!
Every time I watch this, I am amazed.
When someone says "drives like a girl" show them this video.
Everytime I watch this I'm just amazed at how cool and calm she is....love it
And you made it look so easy! Stunning driving.
Love the camera view, really cool!
thankx for the ride .....loved it!!!
Redefines badass.
Not sure why this popped up on my feed, but here I am and glad it did
Now THAT was a fun ride! Nice ride, Lisa Caldwell. Absolutely loved it.
I have probubly watched this 20 or 30 times now, i giggle everytime, at that wheelstand and how calm you are,you my good woman are are a beast ! all that after they kept you at the line for what seemed like a lifetime, crazy nice lick, keep putting them on the trailer you rock !!
Nothing but sky for a minute there.Loved the way the car fired right up.

Hell Yea! Ride it out like a Boss and one of my favorite vids now.
I could watch this all Day!
Owned it!
wow amazing setup and excellently driven ..
Nice run Lisa! You rock.
Damn near shed a tear on that one! How cool was that!!
Excellent video, thanks!
very good driver she doesn't panic. you can see her look left to the wall and stays in it
Was actually looking at the shift light.
Wow....im in love! Shifts twice in air!
That car is set up perfect! Hooked and went straight
that was a cool ride!in 3rd the it hits the ground,thats a very well tuned and driven car
That cam is straight thumpin' like "hot for teacher" intro! Love it
Its the second largest solid flat tappet cam Hughes engines has.
That’s a Dodge Dart 🎯. And She is a bad ass!
Yes it is. 360 with a 4 inch stroker crank and edelbrock heads.
Its a 410 stroker,11 to 1 compression.Its close to 600 HP.
The rear is Alston ladder bars on a Dana 60, 4.56 gears.
What kind of # numbers in the quarter mile? I have a similar set up, if one has ever raced moto x or at all that helps stay calm
Impressive as hell. You go girl. That was kickass. 👍🏼
Wo Mama! I got scared when all I saw was sky. Nice driving! That shut down was cool!
LIKE A BOSS!! To you I salute!
that was one hell of a return road!.....the wife nailed it by the way!...great job!
I've watched this video over and over badass all the way
AWESOME driving skills.
She has done that a lot of times and has confidence in the car or she would have bailed on that. Great run, I’m guessing 10 second car? Awesome run, great driver.
Very high level badassery! At night races she uses the stars to navigate down track

Show how its done girl!!! Great pass motor sounds good too.
Thats a beautiful sound
Wow! Nerves of steel! Awesome
Sweet Run love wheelstands
She,s A pure bred & that comes easy when Drag Racing is part of your DNA ! Hats off to you 👌 👍
That’s about as smooth as you can set er down, nice driving! Would love to see a view from the sidelines of that wheelie
She is AWESOME!!
Awesome piece of driving
Shes just shaking her head like "wow 100ft wheelie, 10 second pass, rubbish" cool ass woman
4:19 This lady is for *real!* I love it! She's not just there to have fun; she's there to kick ass!
Man that was badass!!! When you came down your window popped open a bit lol.
Nice job, Lisa!
It has a 904 with a 2.75 first gear. 5800 stall converter
Great look. Absolute talent
That was very impressive driving. Good for you girl
gutsy driving
Beautiful smooth ride.......

Looks like a well set up car. Arrow straight launch
That's wheelie cool.
