How to do a wheelie?

Well my dreams are crushed, lol. I can always put hydraulics on the front and hit the switch when I take off. Plus ill have a bunch of batteries in the trunk to hold the back down, lol

A buddy of mine runs a 66 Malibu 2 door wagon with a 540 on spray, he ran that on the street until he hit the 8's. He'd pull the tires on the street no problem, and used to drag the bumper at the track. Running a 32X16 slick on the street helps, lol. Plus, there was next to no weight in the front of the car, fibreglass front bumper, hood, fenders, etc. and lots of weight over the rear with the cage, full glass, etc.

I know a couple of guys that can pull the tires on the street, but they're backhalfed cars.

Wheelies are gay though. They slow you down and tear shit up. I know several guys that spend more time trying to NOT wheelie.

When you start doing wheelies, you look for way to NOT do them. Shit just slows you down and can break stuff.

Guess that's what happens when you pull the wheels all the time for close to 10 years. The new car uses wheelie bars, so it doesn't pull them as hard. Here's a link to the page from our local track. I have no pics of the old car, as it was probably 5 years ago now since he drove it on the street, and we kept no records, so there would be no incrimination!!!

On the street its not gonna happen on most cars that dont have the chassis backhalfed period. Otherwise you will need an insane amount of HP and DOT slicks. On the track its fairly easy with boltons, N20, Steep gears and big slicks.
