Byron dragway holds the world wheelstanding competition every year in northern IL....it's pretty cool, drag cars take their wheelie bars off and scrape bumper, every year theres a good YARD sale, this year a white mustang went for at least a 1/3 mile and caught the wind and rolled many times, and as the pictures show, one car wheelied right over backwards, which resulted in some broken parts, nobody was hurt!! The weather sucked, but this was the rain date for the first date it was supposed to run.....keep in mind that these aren't "wheelie" cars...they are DRAG cars, with the wheelie bars removed....it's pretty cool to see!
