Lets see your 2019 Wheelstanding videos!

[Eric Merryfield]

Wife got a few good ones this year from Toronto, Napierville, Epping and Maple Grove.

I don't have video for a bunch of good ones at all stars races, etc. Just the memories.

Toronto was the first time out in 2019 June! Bad spring




Round 2 bye, might be the best video of the year, from the Bar next to the track



Next Naperville open. This one has the launch from the rear, series winner Oakes in the right lane.



Round 2 or 3 Napierville, big tailwind day



Epping Divisional, round 2 loss against shane oakes



Dutch classic round 3, last run of the year.

No Michigan originally but its been to Atco and Etown quite a bit under my decade.

This is an original pilot vehicle 1992 born on date. Ex Mopar Performance owned then to Vance Cummins then Earl Six who qualified #2 at Indy in stock with it back in the day...I purchased it from Earl, ran it in IHRA stock truck and it got turned into a GT truck back in 2010/11.

MR2 Mike Roth with the tune, and initial GT truck build(he built the dragpak too) Upgraded to A&A trans, and dana rear.

Initial engine by Taylor when it was bone stock, then upgraded cam, made big difference. back at end of 12.

BES then bored it and massaged it in 15, and it almost flipped......and destroyed the oil pan, Sanhuffs blew out.(All 4 wheels were off the ground, it was not a nice landing)

Goldman put it back together, new oil pan, rebuilt Sanhuffs,put on wheelie bars, I took em off not long after...didn't like em. Added air shift,

Hurt motor, put in Tuetons stocker 360 with my ported intake for the rest of that year into next

Reid put the hurt motor back together in summer of 17, I went out and did some more 200 footers, dented the pan, then finally broke the motor mount, fan, radiator, and yet again the took out the oil pan..at the end of 17 .Miloden should sponsor the truck.....

Goldman put humpty back together again after 2017, perfected the wheelie bars added a mezeire WP, upgraded radiator, etc. I agreed to my wifes wish to not run it anymore without the wheelie bars.....

2018 and 2019, would have flipped/had real bad landings well over 20 times...maybe more.

But it goes dead straight, and when it launches its like reliving my youth with big air snowboard jumps, BMX and skateboard to a lessor degree.

I saw that Napierville one on Nick's Garage YouTube channel... and there he is at far left covering his ears at the end! Check it out from another angle on his video... it's at the 12.45 mark.
