Tractor Pulling is comming to town (well Wakfeield Park) this Sunday and teh SUperminis will be supporting them. THree or four Supermini races on the day. My old mini will even be racing. Too bad I cant go.

That tractor pulling is MAD! I saw it on ESPN? (Foxtel). Guys team up 4 or 6 bigblock motors, or a couple of aero engines, in a custom built tractor and try to pull a dirty great load as far as possible. It's MAD, I tell you, M-A-D...

They have tractor pulling at the Geelong Show every year.

The little tractors are the most competitive. Most of them are Ford and Chev engines, but there are 2 wierd ones, one with a Jag V12 and one with 2 13B rotarys!

Then ya got the big arse tractors, some running what would be a 6 second blown drag engine, rolls royce merlin engine(s), multiple V8's, etc.

My fav class is the diesel ones, big arse John Deers that blow a cloud of black smoke up 50m in the air!

Fun stuff!
