Drag racing wheel stands are exhilarating to watch because you never know where the driver will end up. Some speeders balance out the load, and other don’t quite seem to make it. It might be exhilarating to watch, but wheel stands can end up being brutal. You’d think that some of the drivers have had pilot training the way they can land their vehicles from an almost vertical position, smooth them out, and continue accelerating down the track.
They say that perfecting the wheel stand is like walking a fine line between glory and agony. Just envision; the racer’s front wheels are clawing at the air, and there’s always that decisive moment when anything can go wrong—and sometimes it does. Sometimes the cars slam down hard and crack wide open like an egg. Other times, a wheelie can last the length of the track, and the actual winner is not the one fans remember.
