Since I am tired of farming problems right now, I thought I would check out the tractor pulls.

Can you believe the beasts they had in the 6200 lb class?

I haven't seen that class run in awhile, far cry from 1971, got to be some wild rides if they can get traction.  I wonder what speed they are turning the tires now?

Tomah is a great pull.  Did any of you go?  Did the bad farming year hurt the pull or help it?

Did you realize many of the inventions in tractors came from pullers?

Dad always thought it was nonsense until he came and watched me win the state championship.
