Hi John,                                               1-4-22

I'm always amused (but not amazed) at what humans will do........just because they can. 

Be well, stay well,

Gotta agree; that'd 'hafta be hard on the machinery... I'm no tree hugger, but that's a lot of (carcinogenic) diesel exh to be wafting on the crowd...

That was 5 minutes I will never get back, unbelievably stupid IMHO

Yup.............. That's a display of some fierce torque #s
I spent my youth around transport rigs and I can assure you that these rigs are not used for daily tractor use.......... Can you say custom built everything.   

I think we should work on  converting a goose motor over to deisel.Now that would be awesome.

Ciao

Yup ................ trans would probably need to be a bit bigger but would only need maybe three gears in there.

Has anyone seen a tractor pull. You want to talk about diesel smoke. Looks like a black tornado coming out a 4" pipe.

I normally see them on TV running outdoors. Many years ago I can swear I remember them running in stadiums with a big hose connected to vent the smoke outside.
