Did anyone watch the show on Speed last night? It was a Lucas Oil On The Edge Show and it was a wheelie contest for drag cars. It looked just like some True Street cars I have seen. It was not a race, it was an actual wheelie contest. An AMC won. He brought all 4 tires off the ground and then got on two wheels before he got it straightened out. I think Gary Sutter could have beaten him though. Those guys were insane. By the way, I am the defending Street & Strip Performance wheelie champion. That $50 was appreciated but sure didn't get very far this winter.

By the looks of the pictures you'll have to flip-it over backwards to win. The Gremlin is completely vertical!
let see, if I loosen the front end all the way, put on new tires, remove the radiator water pump etc., aluminum block, sawzall all the sheet metal off behind the rear wheel wells (so there's no rear overhang to get in the way) do you think I could put it on the roof? ;D
