Headers are fine. Lots of little things got damaged. Rear valance, inner fenderwells both are tweaked, hood got cracked where it flexed and hit the fuel line into the barrel valve, front valance flexed and bent, knocked one of the headlights out of the adjusters, header panel slipped out of place as all the dzus fasteners up front connect to it. The worst things are the pan, frame rail on the passenger side got bent upward along with the strut bar on that side, idler arm mount got bent upwards as well.
Was planning on back halfing it with a 4 link and a good set of wheelie bars this winter to address these big dumb wheelies. Been pulling timing at the hit, but obviously I ramped it back in too soon with the mineshaft air we had at the Halloween classic. That wheelie was the first time trial on the sunday warm up race.
Now I think I will be doing both ends of the car this winter if the money holds out. Beep

Well, the pic is a keeper. Hope the car didn't get hurt too bad. That's all those big wheelies are good for,......Pictures! As for the car, its fixable. Not cheap, but fixable. I think it will be the old racers adage now. Fix it faster, better, safer. Beep

Glad I'm not a wheelie type of guy. If my car does wheelies I fix it before it cost me money. Usually going faster in the process.

One of the comments I heard at one of the old Mopar Drag race seminars made by one of the Mopar chassis gurus was that if the front tars are off the ground, no matter how high, all of the cars weight is on the hind tars I look for 1/2 inch off the ground on the front tires for a short distance, maybe a tiny bit higher but not much I'm sorry you damaged your car that bad My current E body Cuda carrys the front tires about three inches off for several feet,less than 60 ft., and then puts them back down, it is a lot easier to steer that way

I've got a few of those oil pans,changed out 3 in 3 weeks , finally got rid of the 90/10 shocks , went to stock Monro which keeps the wheelies manageable.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Uh...Beep, why are you selling those red wheelie bars? Don't you think you might be able to use them? They look good with your headlights. That's what I was thinking, looks like they should've been on the car. LOL

Problem is the caltracs don't care for them too much. Car unloads tire immediately then will porpoise till I lift. Very hard on the tranny. They were actually at the trailer for sale when that wheelstand happened. Beep
