Take a radial airplane engine......

Put a blown KB on top of it for fun, and put it all in a pulling tractor! This one makes you wonder how good the brakes are on those sleds!

That tractor is called the Starfighter, and it sounds awesome but has problems getting all the way down the track a lot of times.

My favorite European tractors are the Green Fighter, Fox, Kiepenkerl, and also Dragonfire (42 cylinder torpedo boat motor!).

Shoot, why not go ahead and put the propeller on the thing while they're at it.
I really like those tractor puller sled dealy-o's.
Here in town we had a big gathering/event for them called the West coast power pulling Nationals.
The track is a mile from Alan Johnson's shop.

Really wanted to go, but.......
they schedule it the same weekend as the Winternationals at Pomona!!! WTH?!

That was the coolest, what a thrill to see an old B-29 in flight, and the pilot land it who was probally a pilot in WW2. THAT was Cool!
