2012 Byron Festival of Maniacs




Me and a few of the guy's attended the big wheelstand contest at Byron Dragway a few weeks ago. As would be expected it failed to dissapoint. I will never be able to understand why people who work so hard on making a race car fast and look good would do what these people do but as Ron Leek will tell you This is his biggest event of the year for partipants and spectators. So for a measly 5 large these people turn 50-100,000 race cars into piles of twisted scrap. All for being crowned the official "wheelie king" I personally saw the winning wheelstand. A 65 Barracuda went 630 ft on the rear bumper. I don't think that will be beaten for quite some time. Even though it was cold we enjoyed a great event at Byron. More later.
