There’s Nothing Like Wheelies on the Bumper Through 2nd Gear

By Phillip Ferrini

The NMRA Coyote Stock class is one of the most exciting classes in all of drag racing because not only does it offer some of the closest racing you’ll ever see, but also the class uses sealed Ford Racing Coyote engines. This makes NMRA both fun and affordable for racing hopefuls.

If I may be upfront with you, though, the real reason NMRA is so awesome is because of drivers like Drew Lyons who put his Coyote-powered Mustang on the bumper and then power-shifted to second with the rear plastic still scraping. Hashtag that one with a “wicked”.

Do yourself a favor and turn up your speakers to listen to that Coyote sing with its front wheels in the air, and the throttle mashed to the floor.

For your viewing pleasure, we’ve rounded up three different takes on the same insane wheelie: the real deal, a slow-mo version and some on-car GoPro footage. Enjoy.
