We first met Mike Kuntz running Rob Murphy’s Wheelstander at 2006 Hot August Nites in Terrace.

At Terrace Kuntz made his, and the 56 Chevy Wheelstander’s, first runs down any track.

On the return run down the track Kuntz hit the throttle so hard that all four wheels came of f the track.

Kuntz made four runs down the track in Houston.

He say’s that because he can’t do a burnout, the first run up and back was the burnout
