How does one get a wheelie?

sticky tires, dead hook on launch, skinnys up front, weight reduction in the front.

the more weight reduction you can get farther away from the rear axle the better

sticky tires,and a well setup suspension will pull tires. there is no magical 60' time that will pull tires. i was pulling the left front with 1.8x 60's and really pull the tires.

430 rwhp, 9" hoosier slicks, all of BMRs xtreme duty suspension, weight reduction will get you this far off the ground.

Edit: Forgot about really steep gears

those look larger than 9" slicks, are you sure about that one?
