HELL YES!! BYRON DRAGWAY IN BYRON ILLINOIS! The Home Track of the WORLD POWER WHEELSTANDING CHAMPIONSHIPS!!! I Moved to Arizona and its the ONE THING I TRUELY MISS!! Ron Leek had no idea it would become what it has become! I was at the first of them and went every year until I moved to Arizona in 2008... Thank You for putting this on KZbin!!! SO AWESOME! #BYRONDRAGWAY #PLAYGROUNDOFPOWER

[@josephjakubec3171]

Yep, the only thing that I miss leaving Chicago to Arizona too.

[@jeffhyde7934]

I lived in DeKalb, and raced on dirt at Sycamore Speedway, but EVERY October, we would go to the wheelstand competition!!! I miss it now that I'm in Florida, but grateful that it's on KZbin!

It could cost twice what he won to fix it. lol

[@du4-fpv777]

@@zedsez Then you dont know cars.... that was the softest roll over ive evcr seen. the jersey barrier he slid into did the most damage. i could fix it all for 2 grand and thats with a grand leeway

[@CaptainScarlet1961]

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:-)

[@mackadresse6095]

Great Performer! what a Show, thank you for making us dream.

[@paulmartin8212]

Great video. It's all about putting on a good show for the fans. Making the fans feel like they got their money's worth for the price of their ticket. I live in ohio and will have to put this event on my calendar for next year.

[@TimZ007]

26:00 MFer drove over the wall and kept going. First I have seen that someone did a broadside Tony Hawk grind down the side of the dragstrip and kept going.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

The guy never ever lifted !!! Didn't you see the trailer behind the car with his huge balls in it 😂 Woah jus woah

[@JimHerbertOutdoors]

"Broadside"? 😄

[@nickloan6245]

@@MrTheHillfolk I believe his throttle linkage was damaged when he 1st hit the wall!!! He did a great job cutting the ignition. When I was driving my friend's car, I had a stuck throttle, I turned the key off and it seemed to take Forever for that small block to stop. One muffler blew up, may have saved it.

[@davelowets]

@@nickloan6245 How would a muffler blowing up save anything? 🤔 Just curious..

[@Johnny-df4di]

No wax on the wall rode it out no sh!t

[@karlmcnealjr]

Do you put a piece of plexiglass in the floor so you can see where you're going? Need rear steering like the monster trucks.

[@krazicanuck9045]

“He’s not a Freak on a Leash. He’s a Freak unleashed”. Nice

[@desertlizard4723]

Dude! That car did a board slide on the barrier and drove away!!

[@Si74l0rd]

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

Yea I remember someone putting it on the roof , I can't remember if it was him or a chevette. Maybe both. I do remember the back hatch was wasted.

...can I just say the track response team need a little physical conditioning so they can get to the drivers without being out of breath.

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

You know what? Most of these safety personnel who help make these events happen are volunteers who sacrifice their time and put themselves in harm's way just so a lot of people can have fun and be happy for a day. I know you look like David Hasselhoff but not everyone does.

[@michaelleftwich8186]

They should look into setting those wheelie cars( and trucks) like those modified pulling tractors with the hand operated throttle and individual brakes with right and left brake pedals. And then have a window in the floor so they can see where they are going.

3:40 😳 Those must be some BIG exhaust ports to be able to lose the head of the valve through it.

Coulda broke it and shot pieces of the stem out

[@davelowets]

@@tomstutz2645 I get that, but if the valve face itself came out....

[@tomstutz2645]

@@davelowets oh yeah thats nuts😂😂 idk if he said that or not

[@davelowets]

@@tomstutz2645 I'm not sure what he meant either. He did say that the "Valve came out the header, and was laying by the side of the track, steaming". I'm not sure if he meant the entire valve, or just a piece of it.. I do know that when a valve spring breaks, the typical result is that when the valve drops the piston comes up and bends the head of the valve over and snaps it off the stem. I'm guessing he would be lucky if it came out of the header, instead of bashing around in that cylinder and destroying the piston, rod, cylinder head, bending the crank, or destroying the block. I've had all of the above happen, and it can get quite expensive to repair.

[@tomstutz2645]

@@davelowets ive had a valve fall out that didnt snap, it rode the top of the piston and wore a big dent in the piston face. Its impossible to say. when your in and around motors youll never see it all mechanical faliures are infinite
