Wheelie Bars

[63vette]

The initial reaction is to yank your foot off the gas pedal. It takes a lot of experience to back off slowly and get the car to settle down lightly. More than I have anyway.

Then their are people like Tim Lynch....

My pc is being ghey. Jim, you should hop on you tube and find the video of the Chevette going over backwards from the wheel stand comp a couple years ago. Absolutely sick.

[D S ohM]

Theres a black one that goes over and also a purple one. Both are awesome.

Yep. But its a little easier in a 2100 lb car with light front end than it would be with a BBC in a 3400lb car. I thinbk you have another video with a little harder landing dont you? heh!

[zbrown]

Dave what does your car weigh?

Why the hell would he just stay in it like that??

because that's what he does. Runs in a class that doesn't allow wheelie bars and make passes with the wheels way in the air every time. Unfortunately that time the car turned.
I think Chris got pretty beat up in that one too. Believe that happened in 05 or 06?

I'd have to find my notebook with the cornerweighs on it, but somewhere around 2750-2800lb.

[63vette]

I checked and found out the curb weight for the turbo version was 3400lbs from the factory.
Where are they putting all that weight in those little things?
I am very surprised!!!!!!!

[DrifterExtreme]

now i crx on the other hand is little.
