really? Who gives a FLYING FUCK EXACTLY HOW FAST he was going? it was way faster than you or I will ever pull a wheelie what are you gonna tell the guy Oh you weren't going fast enough he'd laugh at you toss you the keys & you'd spend the rest of the day wondering where to put the key in.
He's actually flying for about 60ft . Wheels off the ground about 8inches til the airspeed bleeds off. The body acted like a airfoil... the balance was amazing... Driver is awesome....Great vid.
I know right? Experience driver or not, that man dotted his nomex. Wish there were audio from the driver during that one. I'm guessing it would have been something like "Oh sh#*! oh sh*%! oh sh&$" Followed by, "Hell yeah, I totally meant to do that".
More like a bottle of Xanax to counteract the amount of adrenaline in his system and he still probably was shaking like a crack head going through withdrawals.
@@esinohio "dotted his nomex"!? You had me laughing for a good 5 min. straight. Chuckling for 10 more after that. Never heard that expression before & now doubtful I'll ever forget it. Only those who know what nomex is will likely find your statement anything but puzzling! It actually almost requires overthinking to catch full significance. Thanks for the hoot!
Cruzs wheelstand at Vegas is truly one bad ass run. I can't believe the car went straight while on the wheelie bar and Cruz kept his cool and landed it just like Sully. You could never duplicate that run on a simulator either. Good job !!!!!!!!!
total badass right there, kinda reminded my of Garlits when his top fuel went over backwards and landed the wrong way facing the starting line smoking the tires
Can we agree that was the most incredible driving job by a Funny Car driver? Thank goodness it was Cruz Pedregon who has much experience instead of a rookie.
Seriously, if this isn't the most badass win of all time then I don't know what it is. You go across the Finish Line in a Nitro powered funny car on a wheelie at over 250 miles an hour. This is something that belongs in a Ricky Bobby movie. Unreal!
Back in the Shop they had to Mechanically remove the rest of the seat from his rear end!! :D That was some seriously Cool Hand Driving right there! \,,/
Probably because REAL MEN do not emulate kids/sissies that do high fives. REAL MEN shake hands & pat each other on the back. Maybe, just maybe, one day you may become a REAL MAN. We won't hold out breath though.
If you have the v6 model, chop that tank of a muffler and resonator out and you'll absolutely LOVE the sound of it. Even for being a chopped exhaust XD. Straight pipe out sounds a lot better as it gets rid of all the cab harmonization.
Brandon Davis I would think that aerodynamics don't matter when the car is at that angle. it's only supposed to work when not nose up. as soon as that changes, all the aerodynamic design for that car becomes useless. I've seen that happen first hand with other racecars...a little bit of air gets where it shouldn't and flip. I'm even more suprised with one of these cars that it didn't flip because the speeds are almost double what circuit cars reach. I guess skill and not panicking helped! :)
I disagree, when all 4 tires had 8" to a foot of air under the rear tires, running only on the wheelie bars, it was pure luck the lid stayed on he didn't cross the line, pure luck... he did do his part in driving after the wheels came back down for sure, I myself have driven pulled the front end and hitting a bump in the pavement all four of my tires were airborne, and I am no expert either, but I can say I have been in his situation. big blower / huge rear tires / 2000 pound rod, the guy I was racing said he could see air under all my tires
This is exactly how I play with my hotwheels cars as a child.
peterbrehmj your comment is the BEST 🏆
I WORE the WHEELS OFF My HOTWHEELS!
@@bud385 damn That's intense bro! That's like keeping a pencil and use it till you run out of pencil!
Lol that made sense in my head....
@@surfbird2494 That Dude probably has a Separate Trailer to Transport his STEEL BALLS to the Track!
Probably the best wheelie in NHRA history. I show this one to my friends all the time.
The autobot momentarily forgot he had a human driver and almost transformed.
Hehe
@@TheMNrailfan227
น๋บล
Hahaha
Exactly.
Nice
Now that's what you call an adrenaline rush! You could see the driver take several deep breaths after exiting his car.
He was probably trying to dislodge his lungs from the hips.
Most ordinary people on earth would be Breathing HARD & SH*T their pants!
@@bud385 q
He just hit his gigantic balls climbing out
he's probably the ONLY GUY ON EARTH to EVER PULL A 300 MPH wheelie & walk away afterwards.
really? Who gives a FLYING FUCK EXACTLY HOW FAST he was going? it was way faster than you or I will ever pull a wheelie
what are you gonna tell the guy Oh you weren't going fast enough he'd laugh at you toss you the keys & you'd spend the rest of the day wondering where to put the key in.
• Pyro Gaming • burrrn
Funny cars in NHRA do hit 300 on good runs. Record is 334 MPH
*200mph or so - Still fucking impressive, still likely to be the fastest wheelie ever.
And stuck the landing....
Talking about everything Perfect. That was perfect
Well he never got clearance from the tower for take off, so to avoid trouble with the FAA, he had to set her down.
😂😂😂

Driver radios in for a new pair of shorts.

Pirate Labs It happened to fast, he probably just reacted to the wheel stand and kept the car pointed the right way!
Not Cruzzer!

The Red Bull he drank before the race gave him wings. LOL.
He was going transform to a robot
Now that's a well balanced car!
That was my second thought after yelling out loud "holy Fucking shit!"
Whoever mounted that body needs a raise.
The guy on the 4 wheeler said : need new underwear? Driver : definitely
LLOL
Wheel stand nothing. All four wheels were off the ground for a bit there. Riding on nothing but the wheelie bar
at least it was saved
Traveling at about 240 mph is more than a wheelie.
sugershakify That mustve been scary
Eli Loechel not scary. PURE ADRENALINE RUSH!! best feeling in the world
sugershakify Saw that too,(crazy).
That guy is a awesome driver, he new what he was doing. Most drivers would have lost it.i salute him,I'm a proud air force veteran. 😮😮😮😮

That was epic as well!
Hell and almost drove it back to the staging lanes
0:25 Autobots assemble! 0:27 Nevermind
klever161 XD
LMAO that made my day thank you
lol
LMAO Damnit Optimus make up yer mind!
I'm stealing that lmao
0:03 slowed it to 0.25× and he was running on nothing but the wheelie bar
I saw that to
He sounds like the guy from strange wilderness when you slow it down
Cool. Actually bounced a few times check 11 through 17 seconds in slow mo.
I saw that...that vehicle lifted off!
He got out of the car like "Did that on purpose bitches".
*Seemed more like he needed new under ware*
*maybe perhaps could be because he slammed hard on his ass........*
yeah, looked to me it went more like, "I smashed my spine on purpose bitches"
He took his foot off the nitro at the perfect moment to keep it from flipping, that is a reaction time that's hard to beat!!
"Bro. Thanks for bringing me a new fire suit. This one has shit in it. "
Cruz Pedragon.
Lol. And that's how that conversation went
Cruz Pedegron nut sack stretched 10 cm to accommodate his huge balls! Bet his wife was really happy to have him back, huge balls and all !
Only the massive weight of his steel balls kept that car from on the ground.
Seeing it live made your heart drop! one of the best things i've ever seen in person.
accentplaya18 agreed! I was there to see at as well and I was at the top end. Totally unpredictable
NO WAY! I......Was not..there...
Ill see yall on the 6th at lvms!
For a second I thought I'm gonna see the car transform! Epic!
And WHEN is the last time you saw a Funny Car do THAT??? Big-time hat's off to Cruz Pedregon for keeping that beast under control!
"Ow, my tailbone" is all he had to say. LOL.
Can we agree that was the most incredible driving job by a Funny Car driver? Thank goodness it was Cruz Pedregon who has much experience instead of a rookie.
John boy is probably the only other driver who would have a chance at saving this one.
That was like a street bike poppin wheelie at 200mph lol... Most amazing moments In funny car history!! 😎✊
Had to crawl out of the top because the bottom was full of crap.
The guy on the quad should have passed him a roll of toilet paper.
No they always get out on top
His balls where to big to go out waste first.
Yeah I guess the cream does end up rising to the top.
@@ryan14r95 It was a joke bro, that clearly went over your head
Cruz, I Certainly Hope You Thanked GOD For SAVING You !!
Feels good to be a gangsta!
TAOFLEDERMAUS heyo
TAOFLEDERMAUS. hey whats up
I thought that was a fake account
pop eye same
TAOFLEDERMAUS what are you doing here
Damn good T-yoda! =))
hahaha that was pretty amazing..actually probably the most amazing race recovery of all time..and he won
Recovery nothing he did that on purpose he had to show off that he won the drag race on the rear wheels next week on the wheelie wheels...😜
This is what funny car cartoonists have drawn for decades. Sometimes life follows art. My favorite clip ever!
A car video... ON TRENDING?!?!?!
Justin Fincher I dont see the problem?
greatgood5 No im blind when it comes to sarcasm.
greatgood5
JustANormalCharlie Car vids are NEVER on trending, I'm just surprised
Cringe Master
A stupid comment, ON NOT TRENDING!!??
Woah Wheelie ,Very Impressive Save ,Nice Job !!!! Lots Of Experience There !!!
That was the most amazing thing I've ever seen a Funny car do! Amazing!
Seriously, if this isn't the most badass win of all time then I don't know what it is. You go across the Finish Line in a Nitro powered funny car on a wheelie at over 250 miles an hour. This is something that belongs in a Ricky Bobby movie. Unreal!
This was some real stunt shit too bad the chassis got bent in the process and he couldn't go 2nd round
Ya but at least he was alive and to sit it out
Most upsetting comment.
10 for 10 for winning the race, but extra bonus points for style, finishing the race with a flourish.....a goddamn epic wheelie flair that is!
The rear wheels tripped the timing light!
That video must be fake. There's no way he can get out of this car with balls that big.
pdrafter lmaoo
pdrafter they weren't his balls. he shitted himself
pdrafter he left his balls at the line, thats why the car go so light!!!!
pdrafter
This comment must be fake, there’s no way such a stupid comment got here
they do bring a SEMI to the races to carry Cruz's balls to the race track & back home after he wins with a 200 MPH + wheel stand.
Back in the Shop they had to Mechanically remove the rest of the seat from his rear end!! :D That was some seriously Cool Hand Driving right there! \,,/
NOW~~~that’s a “1”-in -a -“Billion” & don’t forget to thank your lucky stars ✨
Good thing that was a Toyota and not a Mercedes.
ROFLMAO
xD
Yup, haha! I love watching those old Lamans videos of the mercs doing full backflips over the guard rails! Epic
Not enough people appreciate your comment! lol
@@kevintucker3354 Lamans
That new camry is legit
those wheelie bars putting in some work!
I think you need to have a mullet to be able to do this.
DareBearDancin
XD
A mullet made from Chuck Norris' beard hair.
Nicks Corvette Stop little bitta chunky peanut butter around the crotch as well helps, I always find
Just gonna to send it!
Legally would be detained if he didn't have one i believe.
That damn thing looked like a real life Ed Roth picture ... AWESOME!!!
just think , this cat is wheeling at a higher rate of speed than just about any of us will ever reach
Patrick Kennedy AAAANNNd stuck the landing!!!
That wheelie bar doing its job perfectly right there, good thing it was solid and didn’t break.
Thats some straight up Herbie shit
Captain Downybeard older people know exactly who you're referring to lol
It landed just like a fighter aircraft.The best NHRA MOMENT
After 3 years and now RUclips recommend haha
My family and I were sitting beside start line at that meeting. Absolutely memorable day.
The back came up and dumped the air out..Very lucky. Go gamblin Cruz,,your luck can only get better after that. Gladstone Duck right there.
Really cool. Thanks Camping World for stepping up in sponorship. Thank God that run wasn't a horrible accident.
THAT WAS AMAZING!!
WOW!!!! I can't believe that funny car didn't flip over. Now that was something to watch.
THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!
Guy on quad “you ok buddy!?”
Driver “I just shit my suit....my entire suit”
How did that guy in the yellow coat no high five him?
J Rod he was like,yea big deal,lol
He knew not to get that close to someone that emptied everything in his pants and fire suit. It is hard to hide that much crap in a tight suit.
Had to make sure he was not hurt firstly.
Bet Cruz's buttcheeks were bruised
Probably because REAL MEN do not emulate kids/sissies that do high fives.
REAL MEN shake hands & pat each other on the back.
Maybe, just maybe, one day you may become a REAL MAN.
We won't hold out breath though.
@@BobSmith-mc7uqWhat a pathetic comment.
That was magnificent. Dead straight, no interference with other lane and no injuries. Just two up out the door racing at its best.
sure puts "up on the wheel" in a different perspective
Homie double tapped the gas for that Cruisin World Arcade Game wheelie boost! 😆
Wish my camry could do that
really? I don't...
Kevin Nguyen no
Kevin Nguyen did it in a ford, exciting but scary, you can't really control the car
Kelly Schittenhelm liar
If you have the v6 model, chop that tank of a muffler and resonator out and you'll absolutely LOVE the sound of it. Even for being a chopped exhaust XD. Straight pipe out sounds a lot better as it gets rid of all the cab harmonization.
That’s amazing. This has got to be my new favorite
did that in my civic one time..
Carl Johnson yeah because a front wheel drive car can totally do a wheelie...*not*
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
haha I was like wtf no way this happened.
In reverse?
Carl Johnson only Toyota can do that not a crappy Honda did you see the Symbol it's a Toyota Camry baby
I've never seen that before. That was amazing The Cruz'er was able to hang on to that car and get the win.
He crawled out like he had minor back pain lol
Those Funny Cars sure do like to show off for a few laughs
He went through the beams with his rear tires too! 😮
Engine blows which takes it airborne. An Amazing JOB BUILDING the chassis and body. Great Job PPL setup was perfect
Didn't even cross the line what a boss
This is one of my favorite pranks of yours
That moment when you are to scared to react and that's what kept you alive
The transformer woke up confused, but realized everyone was watching so folded back.... Im not dumb!
Pretty sure I just watched a video of a guy crapping his pants at 300mph...
Wild ride for a nice guy. That was really cool the way it all went down.
The rear tires literally was ready to take off for flight 😱
Major props to the crew chief and clutch guy for hooking up and pulling amazing power.
hmmmm whats this red button do....SHIT,SHIT,SHIT,SHIT lol
"Did y'all see that? I won!! Now, let's get big daddy a clean pair of shorts!!"
RUclips with their 2 year recommendation at it again
3 years now
Bro panicked after keeping his cool hahaha what an amazing driver
Tony said he was doing 280mph at the start of the wheelstand .
Nice. Popping a wheelie at 280. I think I would retire after that one.
Cruz said "Per the data...front wheel came off the ground at 339ft. Touched back down at 1,121ft."
Honestly people including myself can’t understand that speed. 160 to me felt like I was on top of the universe
And that was on a 1300 hayabusa
Great run. Much respect for these men.
That's what happens when cars take steroids. I swear nothing is clean anymore . 😡🚗
Why does all the crazy stuff happen to Cruz?
Amazing driver but Man always seems to walk the razors edge.
Much Love and respect
Holy crap! how did that not blow over?!
SuperSonicSenna I don't know
Adrenaline Rush I know but sometimes wheelie bars don't help

I can only assume he was off the throttle before the tear wheels got light and lifted off the ground.
The driver knew what he was doing. Also, this is why proper aerodynamics are important...

I love revisiting this video
Not only did he steer it. He had to stay on throttle when setting the nose down. Trust me it’s extremely hard.
I disagree, when all 4 tires had 8" to a foot of air under the rear tires, running only on the wheelie bars, it was pure luck the lid stayed on he didn't cross the line, pure luck... he did do his part in driving after the wheels came back down for sure, I myself have driven pulled the front end and hitting a bump in the pavement all four of my tires were airborne, and I am no expert either, but I can say I have been in his situation. big blower / huge rear tires / 2000 pound rod, the guy I was racing said he could see air under all my tires
Really it's that difficult ,can you send me the footage of when you did that and in a top fuel funny car
He was seriously hooked up. Quick exit to check his shorts.🤣👍🏻
[WARNING!]
[DANGER TO MANIFOLD!!]
The weight of that dudes nuts brought that car down real quick.
0:34 holy shit
Simply amazing!!! The wheels actually come off the ground 3 times.
It would've been sick if he hit the gas an wheeled it as it came back down.
I was positive i heard the transform sound 😂
I was hearing transformers song
Ok. WHEELING CROSSING THE FINISH LINE AT 327 MPH WITH ALL BUT A SCANT AMOUNT OF ONE TIRE TOUCHING THE GROUND? RIDE OF 2020. THATS MY VOTE! 🇺🇸😃👍
I do that shit with kids stroller all the time.
When he climbs out, his body language says everything!
Speaking of bodies I can’t believe the body stayed on the chassis!!
