Yeah it's one of those "wheelie cars"... all show... not that much go.

Yes, note the motor in the back and the sparks, probably a metal plate used to create sparks for show. You know, like those low riders put in the back of their trucks to make a **** storm of sparks.

Not as much as you would think. whistle.gif It is not a real race car. More like freak show. clown.gif I was going to say like a Rodeo Clown, but Rodeo clowns are honorable and are a vital part of the sport.

Perhaps now things are different, but long ago when I was a drag racer. Wheelstanders were indeed real race cars. For instance, the Hemi Under Glass Baracuda was running in the mid to low nines on two wheels as was Bill Shrewsberry's Little Red Wagon. These exibition cars often ran head to head. Granted Mid nine second runs may not sound like a lot to you young kids, but in 1963 that was pretty darn good! Actually I doubt there are many 9 second (while carrying the wheels) Z's on the board.

This is just my beyond old school (preschool?) opinion.
