Hi there.
The car does have wheelie bars, fairly shorts ones but they are on it. They broke on that pass, causing it to come up a lot higher then normal, and that's why it got all out of shape.
Have a look at this deviation [link] for a timeline of what happened here. Full view it to get the whole idea.
Thanks for the comment!

That was bad, Well just to continue on, in a street machine magazine, I saw a Drag Car (s/st) doing a wheelie on his wheelie bars, all four wheels where in the air and the bars were bent, i cant prove this because i dont have the picture , hey are you tino drag racing or do you just like pictures of em?

That sounds like the Trick & Manswetto Racing Capri wheelstand you're talking about. It's actually an SS/A car, 600 cube ford power. Was it a gold Capri? If it was I know the guy who took the photo that you saw.
Yeah I'm into drag racing, I crew on a competition dragster and a pro stocker. I just take photos when we're not racing and I've got nothing to do

I dont know, it might be gold or green, i cant remeber verry well. Competition dragster and Pro stock, cool. I crew for My Dads Super sedan, go to [link] its a picture of the car. send me some pictures of the dragster and the pro stock. heres another question, did any of the cars you crew for go to the winternationals at willowbank a couple of weeks ago?
