Yep, see those bars sticking out the back with the little wheels? They are called wheelie bars and are used to tune the chassis and keep the car from scraping the bumper, smashing the oil pan, bending suspension components from insane wheelstands, wasteing ET and generally making a fool of yourself. But I digress...

And BTW since you think your Dart will run circles around my leaking junk, I'll stick a piece of junk converter here I have in it and you can come on down to sunny Florida and GRAB A LANE! Oh yeah, bring cash too because you're going to need it. Best two out of three, how's that sound huh? Put some money with your mouth.

Horrible..Look at the body twist..That tubechassis cas should leave straight.You are loosing more power in that flexing pipe rack you call a frame than I do pulling wheelies.2600# tube chassis car that runs 9.75 VS a 3134 Lb car with mini tubs and a 10.5 tire that easly run s 10.0s( it as fast as the car is legal to go)You do the math who makes more power.

Motorcycles follow the same laws of physics that a car does; H/P, traction, center of gravity, instant center, suspension attachment points, etc. You will NEVER see a motorcycle make it's fastest/quickest pass with the front wheel 4' in the air. One of the first things that high H/P bikes get is a longer swingarm - to control the wheelstand. It's not because they don't have the "stones" to ride it out - they are simply faster not wasting power lifting the front end and the on the additional air drag that the larger frontal area creates.
Wheelstands are the result of a balance point - the rear tires. The higher the front wheels are in the air - IT TAKES LESS H/P TO KEEP THEM THERE. Again physics. I could type examples all day, but the bottom line is any power used to lift the front of the car is wasted - the lower you can keep the front anD set the rear suspension, the faster you will go.
Do big wheelstands look cool? ABSOLUTELY! Is there a trick to doing them? ABSOLUTELY! Fastest way down the track? NOT A CHANCE!
Lisa........... You picking on the boys again?!?!?!.... You Go Girl!!!!

And if your lexan door windowed car weighs 3100 lbs Ill eat my hat. lol. Who cares if she's losing et with wheelies? Sound like a bunch of pro-stockers on here. Most people forgot what drag racing is about.

Hmm, my car still has all the factory glass in it, steel doors and the windows still roll up and down. Door locks work too.
