Winning the wheelstanding deal now seems to involve destroying the car your in. Although a local guy here (Dan Smith) won it last year by doing a 400' wheelie in his Demon and setting it down lightly without damaging a thing..... he earned it. The attitude of many of the competitors now is to do something spectacular like crash, or flip it over. I saw the video of Dan Smiths run, and to me....... THAT was spectacular!

THAT was spectacular! i totally agree. i saw the chevettes flip over at norwalk. first year it was cool. second year it was dumb. if you can carry without wrecking...that is much cooler.

Went back and looked at the video and the announcers/producers have it listed as a '71 Chevette.

When I first started racing there in 64 ( year the track opened ) the crowds you see at the wheel stand contests were usually like that every week end. It has remained a nice clean family oriented type of track though. Fastest 300
