Wheelstand of the decade at Byron Dragway 5 OCT

Does this you tube video beat all ?
This was the time to have your PRO camera on.

The fast way down the track isn't always the most entertaining.

Notice the total fan access around the cars...

It looks like there are wheels mounted under the rear bumper.

WOW.... I was more impressed by that than the ones that roll over etc... Wonder if there was a in car camera?

The Cuda does have a wheelie bar system with wheels in the valance pan.
Sure its a "little red wagon" but its also a drag car with no visibility.

It was pretty easy to get the show done this year.
There were few oil downs and no flip overs.
In general the car count is down in this outlaw format at Byron.
The Outlaw Super Stock class / organization is on hold or done?
The pro mod top sportsman type cars are taking over.

To my ear, there is no better sound than J D Driscoll's blue fox body Mustang.
I would rather see more nitrous cars in general.

This one shows all the cars
