This is what RU-vid is here for as far as I'm concerned! Thanks for taking the time to film, edit, and share.

That pt cruiser my fav 😂

In Australia back in the eighties we used to have wheel standers, the cars had plexi glass windows in the floor pans and steered using left and right rear brake levers...They aren't around any more...good to see the usa still does it.

My dad would love this!!!!! R.I.P. Dad❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank You Tom Saw a video on RU-vid about Milner '32 coupe ( 10 cool facts about Milner's '32 Ford - American Graffiti )

Been waiting for a wheelstand competition all year!

Yeah I thought the Skylark had it😮but the CUDA was dialed in ‼️. Great video thanks ✝️🇺🇸

Hello and thank you, i love the action at Byron!

I watch a lot of back track no prep and a lot of outlaw tracks and this brings me bk to my childhood when the wheelies were best part of a race. And thirty some years later they still are

I was there! Have the license plate from the pinto and signed my name on his hood and more!! What A Great day!!

Joins a wheelie contest with a wheelie bar, you know, the device that prevents wheelies. Some kind of genius there.

Absolutely amazing, I’ve been waiting for this video!

It was a crazy weekend at byron. Great video as usual Tom 👌

I remember watching this same event on DVD back in the day. Good to see they're still going at it👍

The art on that yellow Cuda is impressive!

The guy in the Gremlin is the GOAT. He must have a lot of these, I know he’s flipped over several times.

Those guys were lucky Hemi Under Glass, Little Red Wagon, and the Mullet Machine weren't there.

That Chevy luv sure brought back some memories, the luvs and Vegas were the go to for street racing in my days..

I tried with my 10 speed bike and nothing like this! Very kool!!!

That active rear spoiler on the orange Pinto is really cool.

The Buick is my favorite I own one just like it but it’s a gsx clone

That was cool, I'm crazy how much Two thumbs up thanks

this looks way more scary than a speed contest

The chevy 2 was impressive power pulling the wheels while hitting the tires

George needs to get the blazer out here!

The only "drag" show, I'm interested in.

7:24 🔥

Super 💯🎉

the Baracuda is the best looking car

I think the shinto was my favorite 🤣

Wow !!!!! Very cool.

2023 bad fish 2022 purple car chinto is my favorite

LS George loves this

For such a "small" place, Byron Dragway sure seems to see a LOT of action!! SO many times, I randomly click on a drag racing vid, and it's here. Too bad I live in crappy NJ... I'd absolutely love to have a place like this near me! I was lucky enough to visit this track, when I was a student at UTI in Carol Stream, IL in 1999. I wanted to run my Trans Am SO DAMN BAD (as my buddy Andy's Mustang was putting down it's quickest times ever, that day), but it was also my daily at the time and I was too scared to break the wimpy ring and pinion setup that GM cursed those 3rd and 4th gens with... Funny, I ended up breaking the pinion about a month later on the street, anyway... I think the damn thing was just so small (it had 4:10s in it) it couldn't handle any kind of power, so I put 3:73s back in it (and hilariously, they've held up to my 375-400hp 350 with a 200 shot and 26x10.5 slicks, and have been sitting in the car to this day in my yard). So, I broke the stock 3:73s and Richmond 4:10s with my 228 rwhp 305 (dyno'd at school) and the Carquest Motive Gear 3:73s have taken WAY more power from a new motor, and are still there. lol

Some of those cars look like they might actually be worth more than $10k.

What a ridiculous event. Where can I find one of these?

The last time I was there was when they were flipping the chevettes over

awesome 😂

Seems the key is to not put it on the back bumper and lift the back wheels off the ground

These must all have VTEC

I was there Sunday. Nice show ,,,,but to much time wasted between shows…need mor than two jet cars and I think they should have the Chevy rebellion and the other wheel stander put on a show .they need to take there cue from Great Lakes and Cordova they put on real nice shows …Byron’s close to home wish they had more shows that draw big crowds."

Just reminds me of NFS PRO STREET

Sounds like the announcer from great lakes.

I think LS George could win this accidentally lol

Im subscribed to that pt cruiser i forget the channel name but they have one edit its nvauto66

Love the PT Loser build.

it was 580 feet!!

Need more bricks in the truck bed

Get it up ... And Keep it Up ! Sponsored by Viagra 😮

Only In America

Haha

wrong numbers

Watching guys try to pull wheelies with wheelie bars installed is comical. If you want to pull a big wheelie, take your wheelie bars off dummy.

the people going to events like this is the same people putting up sjoe biden stickers at gas pumps, blaming him for gas prices

We need to see the George and the Blazer out here!!

This is the coolest show in drag racing !

is there a rule about wheelie bar configuration? like, could you put some sort of suspinsion or spring on a bar so that it stays in the wheelie and doesnt bounce back after hitting?

I was there in 2019. I don't remember anything after the second 12 pack of Coors Light

LS George needs to enter this!

I had the whole family there this year. Hadn't been there in about 20 years. Awesome event! Great camera work.

Bonus points to the Gremlin for getting more vertical lol

I don't care if it only went 350 ft, I love the verticality the gremlin achieves

I love your commentary and excellent filming

Awesome wheelie video, as usual Tom!!! Keep them coming!!

The future of electric wheelies ain't looking so bright!! Bahahahahaha😂

Having wheelie bars during a wheelie contest😂😂😂

Keep the great stuff coming !

This show had the àbility to create serotonins

This is easy to do.....ask FH5 players.🤣

pt CRUISER!

NEED FOR SPEED PROSTREET anyone? 👊🏻 😎 💥 Then there’s Ryan Cooper doing the whole quarter mile wheel standing 6:35 Ryan Cooper? Is that you? Lol amazing

Glad to see team chinto is back out there after 50/50ing the barrier last year

Where's LS George?

Great video.... thank you 👍👍

06:33 that’s UnReal pedaling, for Real anyone going 660’ or further is ripping a 2-Wheeled Eighth Mile while seeing the Cosmos with Legit *Moon Tunes*

Oh yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍🍻🏁

The Wildest Wheelie contest in the land! Me spank no English LMAO ! WTF ! xDDDDDDDDD

Thanks Tom. Curious if you have ever been able to look inside the trunk of one these cars to see how much ballast they have back there. Guessing it’s a lot! Hope you are doing well!

that is so cool please don't not trying on your car truck and motorcycle bike this professional drag strap drivers

please show us some footage from this old guy.

Awesome!!!!

That looks rough on the front end.

Is it “to meighty” or “tom eighty”?

my friend set the canadian record for first 1/4 mile wheelie in a dodge. rest in peace. know his name?

12:37 rip bank account

it was 810 FEET!!!!!

Ils sont tous si fat!!!

Hmmm

I absolutely hate PT Cruisers which means that green one is my favorite here. Absolutely badass.

I’m in love with the rs/z28

That ‘Cuda was awesome!

WOW. THIS IS INSANE.

🌵🌵💀💀👍👍🌵🌵

I don't understand the excitement.

Nice fast paced video, very enjoyable to watch

Sure would be neat to see Cleetus Mcfarland giving this a go.

STAND ER" UP & SLAM ER" DOWN 😳😬😝
