This is my buddy Gapens tractor pulling that stunt up in PA. It was taken from a camera phone so the quality sucks but you get the idea.

And here is some of his competition doing the same thing at Gordyville back earlier this year.

those guys back there got it half bassackwards...

the diesel is for pulling the race trailer 65 mph to the race track

on the race track you see how hard you can make your sh1t stick you in the seat and how fast you can go

why spend the money to go 55 mph on the track?

i know they have 1320' drag strips back there

someone plz take those boys to the drags and show them what they are doing wrong!

only reason i say "half backwards" is cuz there arnt any turns on the track

let them experience a sub 1 second zero to sixty and i bet they put their tractors back out on the farm where they belong

lol

Having done both the pulling is more fun and challenging than the drag racing. It is also more stressful on components so if you really want to test your stuff out you can pull it, then break it. LOL

Speed may kill you, but pulling kills the truck...

I personaly have more fun pulling and with the bigger class of tractors it takes some skill to keep those things in a strait line. I have heard that the wheel speed can be around or over 200mph
