CPTV FEATURE - 2017 WORLD POWER WHEELSTAND CHAMPIONSHIPS

- After a two year hiatus from competition, "Wheelie King" Brian Ambrosini took his place again on the throne of Byron Dragway's Power Wheelstand Championships.
The win did not come without stiff competion. Chris Pearce was the early favoritewhen he carried his "Chinto" Pinto to a 500' Round 1 pass. And when three time Champion Jason Schubert took his show quality 1978 Olds Cutlass over the wall at 800' in Round 2 , it looked to be anyone but Ambrosini.
Following clean-up of the Schubert carnage, the orange Gremlin came to the line as Byron's Ron Leek brought the capacity crowd to its feet.
Amrosini immediately stood the Gremlin on its bumper, but just as it began to drop by 400', he was back on the throttle and carried through to 885'.
With a borrowed wheel and tire on the left front, Brian Ambrosini and his family accepted the $10,000 check and a stunning trophy in the Byron Dragway Winners Circle. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
my fav u tube by far cant wait every year until its uploaded.
THAT WAS JUST UN-FREAKIN-BELIEVABLE!!! GREAT SPORT
That shot is awesome!!!!! I've been going there for years and was at the show that day. If i could come up with the funding I'd buy the Military to defend this track and it's heritage. This is THEEE best place to take family and friends (and new prospect gear heads) to get a true life experience of flat out racing. The power of this facility is unstoppable. And that ain't shit talking it's the truth. If you ever get a chance go for it. You will have a great time. Later
FLAT OUT
8:52 GREATEST WHEEL STAND I’VE EVER SEEN ‼️‼️
the guy know's how to control that car.. he deserved to win!
Been watching this for years and this year was better than all combined imo
Doug Hopkins me no
William Little ok your opinion counts too
Doug Hopkins by e
Ive seen it all now! Crazy
Ron Leek passed away Thursday July 11. 😔 We will all miss him and what he’s done for this sport.
Will miss you Ron. Great times at Byron
That last ride was amazing. All he could see was the sky, and probably praying not to hit anything at the same time lol.
Great camera footage.....Thank you Camera man. Great Wheel stands....
Great videos
BYRON HELLINOIS
PLAYGROUND OF POWER. BEEN GOING THERE SINCE MID 60S.
I'm from Illinois and got my license in 1980. I'll always remember my friends and I had nice fairly stock muscle cars. But in the late Spring, through Summer, the really fast, badass cars came out. That's because the real drag racers we're working on their cars during the harsh Winters. The firemen in my town had the best ones.
This might be the most awesome thing eva
Thankyou for sharing. You guys r dam awesome , love dis shit man
It’s so cool to the the exhaust just blowing away the the dirt and everything around the gremlin when he doing a wheel stand.
Amazing
Wow!!a car wheelie competition!! Its not easy to drive like that and when one off the drivers said doing this in a safe environment here on the track deserve my respect..nice video anyway..
Man! First time I've seen someone bounce a car between the rear bumper and slicks at will. He was toying with it.
Miss running at your track Ron!
Fantastic editing! Tyler and I are honored to contribute to CompetitionPlus!
Wheel Standers are good content for dragstrips all across the US...imo!!
excellent vid!!
That shit is incredible! Friggin awesome!
What a save by that LUV truck tho!
I like the way that thing happened when they were over there on that side when they were doing it that was an awesome deal
The last one was the best wheelie I have ever seen and I'm 57!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here you go. Got a little slo motion action for ya!
Great video! I subscribed just now.
Damn! and I thought our wheelie was big...
Love that BD.
AWESOME 👍
Hahahahahal\ LOL that dude with the pinto or whatever has balls the size of bowling balls!
HOLY SHIT!!!!!
its actually a gremlin but he was haulin ass XD
He has an asshole the size of a bowling ball now because he went to prison for robbery and got his bung hole stretched out.
wow, Don Rutter from Tuckerton, New Jersey! You sure do have a potty mouth
Less talkie, more wheelie
Proffessor Harrold Hill - it was a feature story, therefore one must have talkie to explain what is going on
If you’re a professor I’m sure you should be able to figure out when the word feature is in the title it means it is exactly that
Right - While it was a little long in the explanation it served to give history and the man who put this on also deserved to be featured as well. Some people have to mature to get respect for this sort of thing. Great Video - thanks for doing it.
Proffessor Harrold Hill ❤️❤️❤️
That orange gremlin wow!!!👀👀👀
That Chevy Luv took off something fierce..
That last one was a Good wheel stand.
that's why I love this country, ma right eye got a little misty. 'merica damnit
Only in the U S of A!!! Yeah!
The last car at the 8:50 mark is Krazy!
Think I saw a couple versions of "The Little Red Wagon". Was like a older van/pickup with a blown motor in the bed. "Hemi Under Glass" was a crowd pleaser. But one wheel stander was putting out so many sparks (intentionally), he caught the top end of the race track on fire, their was so much oil Down on the grass at US 30 Dragstrip.
What are the rules of this competition? A purpose built wheelie car could run the whole track on it's rear bumper. What prevents someone building and running something that has 200lb on the front axle?
Awesome video. 😎👍
still makes my heart rev up I've seen a couple times really cool I'm an old dude but I could still do that no doubt about it if I had a bunch of money he he he
DAYUUUMMMMMN!!!
Brian Anbrosini with the orange gremlin was always my favorite, until he did something assinine with his buddy and robbed a snapon dealership and got caught. Lol !

Dave Micolichek ya my dad is a dealer
With so much torque, how do they keep the frame from twisting and distributing the power to one rear tire?
Locked differential. Both tires spin at the same time always. Very strong frames and roll cages welded to the frames
Playground of power ========
Omg I passed by this track today😂
สุดยอด
"Everything is cool". Dude, there goes your high school car you had forever
Pretty much anything can be fixed, including that car.
Represent Wisconsin! 414
"It's my first car then it turned into a wheelie car and I've loved it ever since"

very possibly the most manly sport ever... somehow I feel I was born to do this...
You'd need a car instead of a dune buggy- there buddy 👈😉
LITERALLY-BALLS TO THE WALL(FIREWALL)
Didn't the guy in the Gremlin go to prison for stealing and selling Snap On Tools, or am I mistaken?
ya
The Olds was going to win on distance, but he drifted off the side of the track and hit the wall. It looked to me like he was going to go the whole 1320'. I wondered why he didn't set it back down when he started going off to the side, but maybe he couldn't see down the track while he was in the wheelie. Purpose-built wheelstanders like the Hemi Under Glass or the Lil Red Truck had windows in the floors and individual wheel brakes on the rear axle so they could see and steer down the track. They were also built with a heavy rear weight bias with the engine in the rear so they were easy to get into a wheelie.
The Olds' radio wasn't working, so he couldn't hear his crew telling him to back off.
*$35K car destroyed in pursuit of a $10K prize.*
hey ron hows it going you looking healthy this is karl the guy that beat dents in your station wagon i think it 3was station wagon its been 40 years probably 35 for sure john woods had your car i didnt know it was yours and slick ass johnny got my money and burned me thought it was his car spenca say hi to ed spears for me when you see him im out here in fontana california live a mile from california speedway glad to see good old byron still up and running keepp it up good work
That's why there is drag racing in America and almost non on the UK $10,000 prize money not a £200 entry fee and a £5 plastic trophy at the end when you win.
