    If you are looking for just the raw footage of cars pulling wheelies, then this isn't the video for you. However, if you are looking for a video that tells the stories of arguably the wildest event, the 2020 World Power Wheelstanding Championships, then this is the video you won't want to miss.
    Byron Dragway's 26th annual World Power Wheelstanding Championship was chock full of excitement. There was some genuinely driving talent on display, and there were also some mishaps.
    This video, using footage shot by video great Les Mayhew, is lengthy but leaves you feeling you were there.

      Definitely one of the craziest flukes I've ever seen, and the crowd loved the boardslide! I think they went more wild for that error than for any of the wheelies that didn't end in disaster lol.
      I bet when he watches it back he'll appreciate how close he came to a really nasty end. Amazing bit of driving though ;D

    Any old timers here that remember the stars & stripes corvette wheelie car from the late 60's - early 70's with the perspex floor & twin brake pedals so he could drive it in a straight line.
    I'm 59 & remember seeing it featured in a load of "Hot Rod" magazines I inherited, the same place I learned all about the Snake & the Mongoose...good times:-)
