Top 5 wheelstands this year so far by Stang TV...
While we are always here looking for breaking news, there comes a time when we have to take a step back and survey the material that we have already been fortunate enough to capture. Some of the most sought after shots come in the form of wild wheel stands. While most of the time they are very hard on the car when they come down to meet the pavement, the fans packing the stands usually go wild with excitement. We decided that we will bring you the top five wheelies so far this season. Enjoy!
First out of the gate I headed to Cecil County Dragway for the season opener of their Outlaw Street Car Shootout. Jeff Moyer was trying his hand at the outlaw drag radial class but was basically testing out his 275 drag radial tune-up. Jeff stepped it up a bit for the first round and brought the nitrous in pretty quick and it ended up with a spectacular wheel stand and only minor damage on the downfall.
Our next stop was at the NMRA Atco event and as usual it was plenty of wheels up action for all to see. Friday night had some great photo opportunities but it was Sunday's eliminations that would bring out the cream of the crop. Tim Matherly is one of those who laid it all out and provided us with a six shot sequence of bumper dragging action.
Another wild NMRA race was held at Milan, Michigan and the track was prepped super tight and wheelstands were a plenty. One of the few drag radial cars that consistently hikes the wheels to the sky is Orson Johnson's convertible. Under the lights he did just that and this is the result.
Max Gross wowed the crowds in Bradenton as he drove the Team Powerhead Mustang in Hot Street. He has been known for wild wheelies and this one was no different. The rear view gives you a true look at how close the bumper is to dragging the track.
Last but not least is the most spectacular sequences from this season is out of Aaron Stapleton at the True Street Drag Racing Association's Memorial Day race. Stapleton managed to get all four wheels off the ground and come crashing down extremely hard, pulling the rear tires off the ground. There was substantial damage to the undercarriage.
