I think he may have needed wheelie bars.....in the second video anyway. Appeared to have a set in the first...

Why would they have a class that requires a shoot because of speed but not wheelie bars ?

That was an Outlaw Radial race at an NHRA sanctioned track. NHRA requires wheelie bars on cars capable of lifting the wheels 12 inches or more, but tracks are free to use their own rules if they choose for non sanctioned events. They don't need to follow NHRA rules all the time. At the speed he had going when he went up the second time, wheelie bars wouldn't have helped anyway. He should have backed off and pulled the chute. That's why they call them Outlaws, I guess.
