What would it take to carry the front wheels to the 60' beams?

You will probably need a lot of weight in the trunk. One of the guys that I race with runs almost the exact same ET as my car, but pulls 2-3 foot wheel stands on a regular basis (mine just pulls the wheels about 6-12 inches now). This video is of Danny Black driving Jamie Fenner's car at the US Nationals in Stock Eliminator....yes, that is a 340 in that 3400# car....I think he hung the hoops a little too high on this one :D.

In a sea of drag cars there is a few cars burned into my mind that I'll never forget. Most of them are wheel standers like that and a couple small tire sleepers like the Jim Henn Nova seen at local tracks live and in person.
