In defense of the unfortunate driver, it was a wheel-stand contest, so I imagine that the bars were removed, as well as other changes made to the set-up. No one in their right mind would set up a car like that to make a regular pass...
Go to youtube, tons of great vids on wheelstands/crashes, etc...

Poor widdle Shit-Vette...
If I was a judge at a wheel stand contest I would say he won. Can do much more of a wheely than that. :yes:
There's one good use for a Chevette. Artificial reef is another one.:yes:

I think that the point is to sustain a wheelie for the longest amount of time.

There are a few different catagories that prizes are awarded for.

I've never understood why so many guys abuse their cars entering into wheelie contests. I love drag racing with a passion but it's sad to see so many cars getting wrecked in these contests.
