KWS 410 Sprint Car Wheelie Contest at Santa Maria Speedway July, 2011

[@brown55061]

That's an awesome idea!! I need to suggest this to our local track for special events cause this is hilarious!

[@tannerpfeiffer3746]

I don't know bout everyone else but that was awesome! Just comes to show you that drivers don't mind tearing up a car for a thousand bucks because they care about their fans

[@widdawa9773]

Or they just want to have some fun like with my go kart in thinking about moving out the tires putting on an old clutch and doing some donuts

[@Al_Nunnery]

💯

[@jordanlinson8580]

Love poppin wheelies in my 360 non winged sprint!

[@darednight6277]

Jordan Linson it's called a wiggles spring I'm 12 and I race a mini sprint

[@HurricaneAndrewGTM]

Well, you see the thing about that is that these cars can be rebuilt fairly easily, unlike the Honda Civic in your picture that could probably be totalled by a bug hitting the windshield.

[@sprintcarz7]

NOT BAD! That was frikin awesome!

[@camo1428]

I swear the commentators sound like Tanner Foust and Rutledge wood.

[@nascage]

Recommended for me today. I dig the wheelies. Man, you almost missed the money shot. Good video, tho.

[@startmoneymotorsports]

who gave tanner foust and rutledge wood the microphones??

[@SpankyBebo]

#1 They're mostly doing this for fun. #2 They're running zero stagger so, they will be naturally inclined to turn towards the infield. #3 What they lose in winnings they will make up in t-shirts, pictures & other stuff (if they're smart) #4 The rear ends on good sprint cars are far more than just a grand. Why all the hate? It's not your car.

[@4theloveofDub]

the only bad thing was that they did this BEFORE the main event so many guys hold back a little to not tear up their cars before the main race...

[@SocialDem86]

My grandfather was on the fire crew at this track for many years. RIP Julian.

[@phillipsracing1052]

4:15 ouch didint like that sound

[@markmnorcal]

Speaking of Nascar looks like Kyle Larson at 5:35 just behind the rear tire.

[@medicolas]

That was awesome! $3000 in damages for $1000. That's smart right there!

[@northstarracing18d-4d]

medicolas dude you never make money racing sprint cars it’s all about fun and I bet it’s more than 3k

[@northstarracing18d-4d]

medicolas chassis on its own is 5k

[@AffordBindEquipment]

so to show off, the car gets wrecked and can't race in what the car was built for, all for a potential $1K. Wonder what the repair bill was?

[@MrXSeleven]

Great Video- Would have been better wheelies on a 3/8 or 1/2 mile...longer straights; just chuck the 1/4 mile gears into the QC for some bottom end grunt.

[@TEEPEE00]

I didn't say they couldn't rebuild it easily. I was saying he probably spent easy more than 1000 dollars to fix it. And all street cars are built to crumple not just my Honda. obviously you don't want a race car to crumple that's why they aren't built with crumple zones.

[@OutbackAl]

5:05 - It's always the LAST PASS - Or the last wheelie that's doomed.

[@northstarracing18d-4d]

If I did this with my car I'd take the fucking wings off lol shits expensive

[@33funnyguy]

...Yes...

[@TEEPEE00]

that was totally worth $1000.....the car only costs $50,000

[@vindavison]

obviously he doesnt care that his car was worth a lot because he looked pretty happy. id do it if i had a sprint car

[@chrisherschbach848]

Nice

[@crustycrab2957]

Power to weight Bitches. 900+HP and around 1100lbs.

[@brianbora1]

This was stupid. Im sorry but really? Theres no telling what one of those cars will do when theres NO steering. They should've had the "judges" behind a barrier and then $1,000 for that? He just trashed all the rear axle components a rear axle is a grand not to mention the bird cages. Not worth it

[@71schaeffer0]

Crazy sum bucks lol

[@coolkate132]

sick

[@TEEPEE00]

Yeah no kidding

[@Camaro17k]

he was probably happy b/c thats the most money he ever won lol he's use to tow money

[@terryatpi]

No gearbox.

[@1Cgeislerfan]

wtf all for $1000 are you nuts??

[@tylerdriever6849]

That hurt my brain to watch the dude trash his car in a wheelie contest 🤦‍♂️ I’ve trashed a car in a race and it wasn’t my fault and it sucks but just to see someone do that in a wheelie contest is just stupid

[@MiraDaWulf]

Rekt

[@brandonbrown7725]

Tore up a perfectly good race car for nuthn....👎👎👎

[@KyleLarsonfan-rw7nu]

Dount

[@Unavaiable]

WEAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[@Camaro17k]

thats just stupid... i bet them guys that did this there heads are so big they couldn't hardly fit the helmet on

[@mslyn001]

people like this make me sick!!! YOU NEVER CHEER FOR A FLIP!!! that person could get seriously hurt, what the f*ck is wrong with you people!!! a sprint car, or its driver's life aren't worth watching them pop a wheelie, and then flipping!!! you people are sick.

[@FrankieT666]

mslyn001 it's fun bitch stfu

[@eagleguy007]

They choose to do it. When you strap in you know it maybe the last time you do so. That's the risk of racing

[@Unavaiable]

Like Kyl;e Larson ..Weak
