Wheelstands? Wheelstands! Watch a 2017 Highlight Reel!

It’s not always the quickest way down the track, but who doesn’t love a good show? Enjoy some monster two-wheel launches from this year in drag racing.

You’ll find lots of tech tips and build stories and more here on LS1Tech if you want to learn how to make your LS-powered machine more awesome. But if you want to see some aspirational goals, we’ve got you covered today. Sit back and enjoy this highlight reel of monster wheelstands from 2017.

Go ahead, watch it. It’s our gift to you, an early holiday present of sorts. There’s just something magical about both the holiday season and wheelies, after all. So why not combine them?

Urban Hillbilly Videos compiled this one with, fittingly, 17 great wheelstands. We lost count so we’ll assume they put 17 in the video. Honestly, by the time the Dennis Taylor’s Hot Rod Drag Week gasser smashes down its wheels, you won’t care how many are on here.

The the big-white-whale wagon wheelies — say that three times fast after your third egg nog — might be our favorites. Nobody ever suspects the people-mover, but it clearly has enough of a reputation that no one else wants to run next to it.

There’s also the classic fourth-gen Firebird hanging the hoops next to a Fox Mustang. The Mustang goes up, too, but like any good F-Body owner, he won’t be upstaged by a Mustang. With the tire already dead-hooked, he just firewalls the throttle and stands on the bumper. Meanwhile, the Mustang driver pedals it. Pffffffft!

Well done, Firebird owner!

Alright, so it’s not exactly filet mignon on the LS1Tech menu here, but sometimes you just gotta munch on some potato chips. And we like potato chips.
