    But that chebby pulling a wheelstanding hole shot on the street - yeah, the guy knows he's got a bad-ass ride![/QUOTE]

    Could be a nasty car....or could have been a "bouncer wheelie". Back when I was a kid in the 60's, we would bet someone we could pop a wheelie in an obviously underpowered stick shift car. If you pop the clutch multiple times, in time with the front end as it bounces, you can get 6"-8" of air under the front wheels after a few tries. Won $20 once doing a bouncer wheelie in a 2 ton flatbed truck .

    Used to do the wheel hop in my dads 396 powered Jimmy 1 ton all the time after school. Never thought to bet anyone I could do it. Damn, the missed opportunities of youth!

  7. hmm, Chevron Supreme, now sold at caLso. It's a southern California company, just got to figure out how many places were named Woodlawn besides all the cemetaries.

  8. You don't need tons of H.P. to wheel stand. Many years ago a fellow in my town did it many times with his stock 56 Chevy. It does require worn out shocks apparently. And split-second timing.

    hello,
    here is a photo from the 72nd street jetty at the long beach peninsula, 1957. it is looking toward the entrance to the alamitos bay harbor and marina. look at all of the oil derricks in the background...that is east side long beach and part of seal beach. growing up in long beach was a lot of fun.

    thanks,
    jnaki
