We all 'popped wheelies' on our bikes (and some people still do ), and there is just something cool about it! Like the car in the picture above...it is just awesome (although, I'm sure the person driving that car didn't think so at them time).

But, what am I getting at...Hot Wheels cars don't pull wheelies...or do they? Last year, while I still had my Drag Track set up, I was playing around with weight placement, I had a Nova that I used as a test car. And if I would put the weight...about 18 grams...on the trunk lid, that car would hit the transition and pretty reliably pull the front wheels!

Now, I'm not suggesting some sort of Wheelie race. But I thought it was pretty cool, but I didn't have a nice enough set up to catch it on video. But, that be fun to do!

When I get a chance, I'l try to catch a cool Hot Wheels Wheelie on video and post it here! Give it a shot...it's pretty cool!
