do they really count when the engine fell to the back of the car? Thats one of a few old school wheelstanders that were built to do just that. One of the 3 hemi under glass cars was at the goodwood fesival of speed a few years ago, and he put it in the hay bales lol, damn things dont turn with the skinnies way up there

 

Wheel stander cars just have to blip the throttle to pull the front wheels. All the weight is in the rear. They steer with 2 brake pedals. One for each rear brake.

 

yeah but they didnt work for him when he was in the grass, it really wasnt a safe place for that car to be, also I decided not to bring up the dual brake pedals since obviously he wasnt aware what that car is (a piece of history, along with the lil red wagon and several others) thinking back, alot of them were mopars, maybe thats the reason they seem to have faded away. I loved the match races they had when i was younger, etown used to get the most of them together that i could remember, but this was after most of them quit barnstorming, most had been doing it since the 60's

 

Vans, fire trucks, bugs - there have been all sorts of them.

Latest (I've heard) is to steer with the wheelie bars.

 

dont forget the school bus lol.
Many of the wheelstanders also use rubbing blocks instead of wheels to create sparks, usually scraping two grooves out of the rubber on the track when they do it....I suppose we should also mention the clear floors so they can see lol

 

who cares about those slowpoke wheelstanders with the engine in the rear of the vehicle?
watch this video and youll see something much more impressive. lol
