Only in the 1960s did a track like Baileyton Goodtime Dragstrip have an in house wheelstander. I mean it wasn’t theirs, but was regularly seen at the track and there are tons of stories about its history. In the video below, from the Hot Rod Hoarder Tommy Lee Byrd, we’ll see some great images and get all the info on the history of this fun machine.
Video Description:
Before “Farm Truck” and “Ol Heavy” there was another pickup truck that served as an exhibition drag racer. The Ole Tater Hauler is a hand crafted wheelstander that was a fixture at Baileyton Goodtime Dragstrip, an awesome hometown drag strip north of Birmingham, Alabama. This old GMC pickup truck was converted to be a wheelstander back in 1967, and it has been thrilling fans ever since. #dragracing #wheelstand #farmtruck
