High powered hotrods and dragsters often employ wheelie bars out back to prevent the front wheels from rising too high during burnouts. Adding them to our wheelie popping roadster was authentic in every respect and that we did. But in our case they serve another valuable function. The car is indeed balanced on its back wheels and to ensure it stays elevated in a secure fashion we created anchor points tucked underneath on the mounting plate. Even so there is a lot of potential weight and leverage out front, especially if guests decide to lean or perch on the front of the car. By adding two fastening points to the wheelie bars, just inside the small wheels we can readily counterweight this challenge by bolting this sturdy triangulated structure to the ground. This will make the car safe, no matter what happens ‘down the road’.
