A good wheelie had to be aborted after the chassis unloaded and the wall got in the way.

You forget that when you run a hemi,you don't need nitrous.

Awesome video! Thanks for the in-car camera ride. I was standing at the starting line at Pittsburgh in '04 when you stood it up on the bumper.

What was your ET and MPH on this pass just for kicks, I know you were just feathering the throttle the rest of the way.

The best wheelstand I remember Don doing was at Edgewater back in 05 or 06 in the tower side lane. All I can remember thinking was that at around 500' I really thought he was gonna hit the guardrail or hang the tires over the wall, but Don motored on out of it and ran that damn thing full tilt thru the stripe. All I can remember thinking to myself was how nuts he was to not abort that pass.
