What would it take to carry the front wheels to the 60' beams?
I told this story before but i will keep it short, Lisa's Dad and uncle built a 69 Dart back in the 80s and he moved the motor back 18 inches ,put a big tires on the back ( tubbed) and put together a 360 with TA heads. The first pass out it wheelstood through 3 gears( 400 feet) and went straight as an arrow( ran 10.40s) and so the wheelstand started a family tradition. They races that dart at sears point and won tons of races with it. A few years later lisas dad who raced Comp Eliminator for many years, built a chevelle to pull big wheelies also, and it did running 9.50s at 139 and carring the wheels 250 feet.. So once we got enough power in Lisa's car( stroker in 2007) we started working on the wheelstands and it is what we have today. When your pulling a wheelie you know the car is hooking hard, and her car won't very .01 all day in 60 foot times. We run a 10 inch tire on a 10 inch rim pulling 1.32 60s or 1.44 on the back tires so we need all the weight transfer we can get.
The thing with big wheelstands is the car is never boring to drive and I don't care how many passes you make you never quite get use to the car powering the front end way up and carring the wheels like it does and thats what makes it so much fun.
