VIDEO: FUNNYCAR DRAG-RACER PULLS THE PERFECT WHEELIE!

Drag racing may not look especially complicated, difficult or frightening, but we can assure you it absolutely is. Take this video, starring two-time Funny Car champ Cruz Pedregon. 

It all begins normally enough, with Pedregon’s rival clearly suffering from some sort of mechanical failure, leaving the Californian to romp away up the quarter mile.

Only what looks like about half way through the run, Pedregon’s car takes off, leaving only his rear wheels in contact with the tarmac. And, presumably, his view forward none existent.
