I've never been to a tractor pull. Seen 'em on TV but never went. I guess I should go and look at some of that creativeness.

A bit off the subject, but many years ago the step-dad of one of my old buddies needed a tractor for his small truck farm. He got some kind of old chassis, bolted an early Toyota (or maybe it was a Datsun) engine in it with two transmissions behind it and hooked that up to some kind of an old truck rear end with some fairly tall wheels. It pulled like mad and as far as I know, it might still be running somewhere.
