Wheelie Bars are not needed for Safety on Stockers!

[Michael Beard]

Should've taken the bars off at Coastal Plains. Might've given Alan Farmer's Dart a run for his money. 'Course Alan hurt the car after coming down from a massive wheelstand.

If this were the 80's maybe.

Wheelie Bars took some of the Stock out of Stock.

But they are definitely cool, in fact modernized upper Stock Classes.

Since the 80's 9.99 was the hot lap.
Today 8.90's are the hot laps.

It is what it has to be !
NHRA cannot go back on it because it is about safety.

It is not about safety, it's all about wheelies are cool, exciting to do and watch.

Michael, any damage to that car is the result of Alan's decision to run it that way. There was no good reason for him to be on the bumper every pass!

BTW, I've broken my wheelie bars twice to date. Removed them, tightened up my front shock extension and went from a wheelie in the photo to none at all
