    I towed a truck into Chirico Summit Ca. that was pulling He'll on Wheels wheels. I got to climb in it and see what it felt like. They steer it with two hand brakes. There is a window in the floor board so the driver can see. This video brought back 40 year old memories. Thank you for posting it.

    If I remember correctly, Joe bought the tank from Bill Golden who got it from Perry. He told me he had to put alot of time & money into to get it straightened out & even had TCI custom build a torque converter for him. I talked to him whenever he came to New England Dragway as I used to work there and I'm also a 2nd generation Stockholder. Saw the tank run there when Bob Perry still owned it as well & he had electric wheelie bars that came down so he could do a funnycar style burnout. Joe said they caused handling problems so he got rid of them.

      @@scottwesleygolden1285 I remember a few wheelstanders from back then. I think Bill bought another one he ran briefly too. I wanna say "Magnum Force" that was a Dodge Magnum body. Danny Burmer bought the Chuckwagon which later wrecked. Smokehouse Curtis wrecked the SuperBug while driving for Marko Hildonen. They found one of the Young American Monza's Marko had and had it on display at NEDway a few years ago. It was in almost perfect condition, would've been cool to see it run again, it was a fast car for back then.

    Also, I believe Lee Trevinos S10 was originally Danny O Day's Heartbeat High Wheelstander... or maybe that was the one Lebannon Valley has/had. Don't know what happened to the Wind up Pickup Ranger O Day had first. Haven't seen either one in years now.

    I hate it when dragstrips have crappy music blasting while the cars are running. There's enough noise when the cars run and did we really need to hear "Maniac" from flashdance again?

    When this was filmed, Hell on Wheels was owned by Joe Klimarchuk out of N Reading, Mass. I spent a lot of hours working on the car with them. It was a very cool car. It was heavy as hell, and took a ton of horsepower to make a full pass.

    I kick myself for losing Joes business card. He & his wife gave me a limited edition picture of the tank because they considered me a friend one of the last times they were at New England Dragway. I heard he lost his son and have tried finding out what happened to him & the tank. Last I heard was he wasn't doing well when I talked to Richard Hutchins (Chevy Rebellion) when he was at NED. I'd appreciate any info if anyone has any. thanks.

      HOWkid If your dad's Joe K, glad to hear it. I hadn't heard or seen anything about him or the tank in years & wondered what happened. All the info I was getting was second hand from other racers.
