Hike up the Wheelie Bars and rev up the engines to crank out the best wheelie possible. You will see the legend Chris Pearce in his orange-ish red Ford Pinto (Chinto) try and defend his title from winning last year 2021 and seeing if he can get the $10,000 cash prize again offered at Byron Dragway in Byron Illinois.

    It's almost boring seeing all the properly dialed in cars. Why bother even entering the contest?

    • @tomeighty
      @tomeighty  Рік тому +4

      Some guys enter it to just be part of the show, they know they won't win it but they all can at least do a wheelie. With that being said some of the guys change the tunes up drastically at the last minute to do a better wheelie and then it runs just horrible. So testing is really your friend in a situation like that but as you know it is hard to test something that can tear your car apart if things go wrong. So I have a lot of respect for anything going out there and trying it, I just love it as a fan. Thanks for watching and the good comment. Tom

    Why are cars running wheelie bars? The wheelie bars prevent wheelie’s. The car can’t get the front end up high enough to maintain a wheelie.

  • @HighlanderNorth1
    @HighlanderNorth1 Рік тому

    🤔 Seems like several of these contestants were having more difficulty here than in previous years. I'm pretty sure the Gremlin guy dominated this event one or more years, and his Gremlin would pull the front wheels almost straight up, probably 70°! But he and several others didn't seem able to get the tires up high, or keep them up this year.
    🤔 Also, it's strange that there's not LOTS more Fords involved in this. After all, stock Ford cars make so much power that it's possible to flip them over backwards just by giving them slightly too much throttle at stoplights when out picking up groceries! Of course that means Fords have a major natural advantage over GM, Mopar and AMC cars, which require the addition of expensive aftermarket performance parts & power adders just to keep up with 1974 Pinto wagons and 1979 Fairmonts with bone stock 4 cyl and 6cyl engines.....
    It's why the ^Chinto has a Chevy engine, because the stock, original 2.3L Ford Lima 4cyl was just too powerful and dangerous, that it was banned from competition....... {😁}
