[B]here's a couple pics from my collection of local wheelstanders I have alot mor ebut need to scan them. the trick truck was built and driven by dick belfatti of willow grove pa (also known as "the shadow" when he ran fuel dragsters earlier in the 60's) the 3rd pic is of connie swingle driving for dick at an event. the other wheel stander is dicks best friend Fran "frantic" monaghans "gemini cricket also of willow grove pa. I found the trick truck (whats left of it) about 8 years ago the two brothers that bought it from dick in '68 never ran it and got in a dispute over who owned it and they decided to cut it up into pieces back in the 70's! B]
the last pic is of john forces brothers wheel stander, they claim it's the gemini cricket but fran says it's not the original buyer still has the truck and it's in a barn in AZ.

Okay, you guys are going to flame me, but...wheelstanders & jet cars are to drag racing, as professional wrestling is to sports. I'm wearing my flame proof underoos, so have at it folks!!!

 

The guy didn't ask if you liked them. He just asked for photos.

 

Awesome, ...one day i'd love to build a wheelstander!!...............

 

Elvis, That isn't a wheel stander that you copied from me!
