German tractor pulls.

[HEMI6point1]

One interesting thing I found out is that tractor pulling is big in Europe, especially Germany.

I've been watching the videos on Tractor-Pulling.de deutsche Tractor Pulling Homepage mit Webvideos, Fotos, Terminen, Links ! and although watching the tractors is fun (those guys are not afraid of putting any type motor on those things, download some of the "Freie Klasse 4,5t" videos) hearing the announcer speak in german is funny as hell especially when you don't understand it.

My mom was cracking up because I was imitating the announcers by making pseudo german noises. LOL

The Europeans take their tractor pulling VERY seriously!

One of my favorite teams: Tractor Pulling Füchtorf - Green Monster Team

The pulling site for Europe: Tractor Pulling online - pullingworld.com

Six straight-eight engines with a common crankshaft and more magnetos than a Top Fuel field - what a monster!! I wonder how much torque that thing produces.

I'd like to know how they can possibly get that kind of Power to the ground? Bet that thing has to be Really hard on drivelines!
