I see expensive drag racing cars and bikes using a wheelie bars to control how much the front end is going to come up off the ground can't see why they don't put some type of light weight narrow rear wheels off the back of the wheelie bars that unlike the typical rollers on wheelie bars these get kept planted on the tarmac with downward pressure, and would have a arc of up and down but could help resist the back end walking out to one side or other and help things from getting ugly.Makes you wonder why. Is it pride that you would rather risk wadding a $100K car than be seen running with a set of training wheels off a wheelie bar parachute jockey cart off the @ss of your drag car.LOL My guess is the idea was tried and maybe induces some evil gyration Would look pretty damn funny though with training wheels on funny cars and bikes
When the back end of a car looses traction it's surprising how little pressure on one side can make it drift to the opposite side or keep it pointed straight. 2 narrow sturdy bicycle size wheels just 6 inches behind bumper, a couple feet apart on sides of custom wheelie bar ,or maybe a single one centrally mounted between a wheelie bar assembly might just be enough to do the trick.
