Check the battle scars on these two wild wheelstanding gassers at the 6th Annual Meltdown Drags at Byron Dragway Sat Nite 7-18-15. Mike Bilina's '56 Chevy built in 1965 with the straight axle, engine set back, glass tilt nose , spindle mounted front magnesium american mags,(no front brakes),glass doors and trunk with nothing changed except a fuel cell to replace the beer keg gas tank and wheelie bars. Now the motor is a 496ci chevy, turbo 400 and 488 gears in an olds/pont rear end, home made ladder bars hooks pretty good for 60's technology wheelstands his way to a win with a 10.79@104.95 mph with an 1/8th mile speed of 103mph! Bill Bierman with his Injected Chevy powered, 4 speed manual, Altered Wheelbase, '61 Studebaker Hawk aptly named the "Suicide King" thrills the crowd along side the '56 with wheels in the air to the approval of the fans!
