Great Video.. To this day I still believe the best wheelstand I ever witnessed at a national event was Mike Saye against Kenny Morris in SS/HA class eliminations at the Gators. Saye went at least half track in the air and when he landed he had a fender on Kenny and went on for the class win. Wish someone had a video of that one to post.

Thanks Rob for some great footage! Alot to be learned there on alot of shots. Especially impressed by watching some of the landings and precise front suspension control! The Mans' Firebird is a really good example of no energy wasted.

Randy Mans built the struts on my firebird shown at 2:53 in. From the day I bolted them on, the car has felt totally different. It is always controlled and lands very smoothly.

Re: VIDEO: Top Ten Wheelstands 2014
 
I watched that! Very well controlled! I think that the front suspension on a race car is every bit as important as the rear end dynamics in terms of traction and ultimately performance. We have always known that a "loose" front end with a lot of travel helps with hook but with more power, better tires, etc. being able to dial in the right amount of wheel stand vs. maintaining a stable landing is very important. Also another variable in adjusting reaction time.

Re: VIDEO: Top Ten Wheelstands 2014
 
Agreed on the front struts being crucial for nice landings.. The one Rob has of my car was with the old struts. not pretty.

I finally spent the coin on Santuffs, and the difference is beyond amazing.

I guess you missed this one since it was shown on Top Gear - match race last year between us and Roy Hills car
at the Gainesville National event.

I have the video footage on CD.

If I was at this race and got this on video it would make this years top ten! I didn't see you entered for the Gatornationals, so I guess I won't see you there.

I did see that video, very cool, however this was all MY footage from the year, not from everyone's footage.
Thanks again everyone!

Unfortunately I put two rods out on my last qualifying pass. Won't have it ready in time to make the Gators.
