  • I put together a collection of videos I have taken at the Byron Wheelstand Contest from 2012-2021 to make The Longest Wheelstand Video on CZcams. This is nearly an hour long so sit back and enjoy the non stop action of Muscle Cars competing in a Wheelie Contest for $10,000 dollars and the bragging rights to be the winner of this historical event at Bryon Dragway in Byron, Illinois.
    One thing to note is that this long video is missing the years 2013 and 2018. I couldn't make it out to the event in 2013 and in 2018 the event was rained out and never happened.
    I made this video on New Years Eve 2021 and wanted to say Happy New Years 2022 to everyone and hope this video gives you some enjoyment while you are off enjoy the Holiday Season. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a great New Year!

    That Gremlin took all four wheels off the ground, and blew the back window out, at a wheel standing event. But the real OG is a 68 Barracuda, hemi-powered, motor in the front, that SOB went the whole 1320 and part of the Slowdown Lane on two wheels. He did it like he was on Rails too. it was amazing to see a car running a 10-second quarter mile, at over 125 miles an hour, on two wheels. No plexiglass floors, either. Balls of steel my friend. Special mention of the car that did a near perfect wheel stand, but veered into the left guard rail on two wheels. When he got close to that guardrail I almost wanted to yell at him, to get out of it. Car was pretty, too. Oh and then there was the green 68 Camaro. Yeah that guy came down too hard and fucked up his car, went into the guardrail. So what does he do? Keeps on doing wheelies until he beats the front end off of it. Yeah, that wasn't his brightest Shining Moment. But yeah, that 68 Barracuda for the win.💯

    Back in the day, when NHRA still did 1/4 miles I had seen a number of wheel standers go the distance on a half mile strip, if I recall they did not nose down until well after the 1/4 mile. The strip, that's easy, was at York US 30 back in the late 70's. Was a great place for drags as there was plenty of over flow area for safety.
    Remember one was a tank, one was a cop car, and a few other various vehicles.
    By the way that is the same strip where Sammy Miller lost the "Spirit of 76" body one night before he built the "Vanishing Point" the following year. Guess that was 76 or 77 not sure exact year. I do have a photo of the "spirit" in the pits before it came apart.
