This Plymouth Barracuda has a windscreen on its floor.... You'll see why

POWER! Something this Plymouth Barracuda has in spades. The wheelie would make it very hard to see where you're going, but Bob Riggle has thought of that with the floor windscreen. Genius!
With 2,500HP it doesn't take a lot to get a wheelie going.

I've been a fan of the Hemi Under Glass since I was a kid; almost sixty years now... and this is the first time I've seen it go around corners that weren't drag strip turnoffs for the return road.

[@donschneider3687]

@@Motor-City-Mike You're spot on there Mike. There used to be (maybe still are, I'm not sure) tours of wheel standers that would have match races at the local drag strip. I worked at one outside of Syracuse NY around 1966 -67. Bill Maverick Golden and his "Li'l Red Wagon" was matched against the "Chuck Wagon" - a VW van with an injected 283 stuck in front of the rear axle. He broke a universal on the first run so there was no real race. Bill ran up and down the track about 5 times and that was it. :(

When Bob took Jay Leno for a ride, they rolled on it on its side. Quick reaction saved Jay from losing an arm. It was a wild ride indeed.

That was Bob, but a different car. That Barracuda was a second generation.

I love seeing something as rowdy and uncouth as the Hemi Under Glass wheelstander at Goodwood. Props to Bob for his control in those short stretches and curves.

[@allanpolk2681]

I saw the Hurst Hemi Under Glass back in the 60s when it was on the NHRA exhibition circuit. It was at Tampa Dragstrip along with the Dodge Little Red Wagon. It was just too cool seeing them both go down the strip side by side on two wheels. WHAT A SHOW ! ! !

That drag strip was DeSoto Speedway. Grew up there. Little red wagon is still sitting in the Don Garlits drag museum off I75

@@metrichotrods1763 No, it was in Tampa. This was in 1968, before DeSoto was built. The drag strip in Tampa is long gone, there is a Rooms To Go warehouse there where it used to be. I am an Arcadia native, and have been to DeSoto numerous times, as well as Tampa, when it was operating.

[@waynemetevia7983]

I'm 66 years old now and can remember my Dad taking me to the local dragstrip when I wasn't old enough to drive. Every once in a while, the local track hosted a special event for wheelstanding dragcars like this one. It was best when they held the races at night because they would put on a spectacular display with a shower of sparks from the back due to a special skid plate. Btw. Remember the Little Red Wagon? Thank you so much for bringing back some great memories. And thank you Dad for taking me.

[@davekennedy6315]

The thing I found just as impressive as seeing this big car jump up onto its back wheels was that it even used to do a quarter mile VERY quickly! Just think of badly the cars aerodynamics must be effected when the car is driving forward at increasingly high speeds but with the wind hitting the flat underneath! It's also gotta take a LOT of control to have a car go full speed doing a wheelie for the full quarter mile! So cool! I shoulda mentioned the Vette performed at Santa Pod back in the early/mid 90s.

Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you carry the wall with you. Back in the dai, I shortened a vw buss, mounted a dry sump 400 mated to a Chevy rear end at a crazy angle, and the only way to steer it when launched was by the rear brakes. What a hoot...
