<div>Wheelies are pretty much the epitome of over-zealous performance. but in a good way. While most racers are trying to keep their wheels on the ground, there are a dedicated few who live for lifting the nose. The results are always awe-inspiring, and few things are more impressive than a 3,000 pound car flying down the drag strip with its nose held high like some spoiled teenager.<br />

This first video from <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.streetfire.net%2F&ei=IguPSrurDYfslAfWx5CoDA&usg=AFQjCNFSeFMAVeAMri2ZA8nbBOMX9IYpTA" target="_blank">Streetfire</a> dates back a few years, from the 2006 Clash of the Titans at San Antonio raceway. It shows what happens when a wheelie goes right. The driver, “Racin’ Jason took his Chevy-powered Mustang down the strip more for show than go. He even launches into a second wheelie down the track, sending sparks into the air and a roar from the crowd. <br />

<br />
But wheelies are dangerous business, as these next two videos show. This white Fox-body Mustang wobbles at the 250 foot mark, and by the 300 foot mark it is out of control and tumbling down the race way, eventually flipping and righting itself. <br />

<br />
This final video shows another Fox-body (looks like SVO) Mustang getting up right off the line, and than getting up a second time before losing control. It slammed into the opposite wall, after the driver held on to the throttle what seemed like a bit too long. This was a less-epic crash, but still a reminder that racing is best done on four wheels. But at least they put on a good show.</div>
