Re: Wheelie-Bar by Wham-O
Myron, that is a bike that has had the pedals switched out to a longer stroke pedal assembly. It is good for about a .05 increase in 60 ft. times. You can normally get by tech and not get noticed, but when you get off road the longer pedal assembly has some clearance issues with bushes, rocks, and twigs. LOL, Don Jackson

Re: Wheelie-Bar by Wham-O
Ok. I was curious about the unusual name. But I thought it was a little humorous that a "regular" Stock racer had "crate" associated with one of his first rides. (As in crate motor.

Re: Wheelie-Bar by Wham-O
Regarding the comment about Auto World. Oscar Kovaleski was the owner of Auto World. I met Oscar at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale in '06. He is probably in his 80's now. I told him how I sent him every dime and quarter I earned as a kid to fuel my model car habit. His reply was "I thank you for that. I spent it all on fast cars, fast women and booze." Oscar is now my role model for life......
