I used to watch these on TV growing up.  Pretty awesome stuff IMO.

A) There's tractor pulls outside the US? I'm stunned.

B) The V8 is just a throttle 'trim'?

This thing was from just a bit south of here.



I never saw it pull in that configuration. I think it had 4 when I saw it.

Stroked Hemi's, 526 cu in., but all custom forged aluminum blocks and heads.

The guy and his son still build pulling engines in Weare, NH. His wife used to run the tractor...and the funny cars they ran before that.

So, you think they go through two rears for every front?

A) Yeah, that surprised the hell outta me too.

B) Not sure I understand what you mean by "throttle trim", but my understanding of it is that the two diesels provide a shit-ton of low end torque and then once up to speed, the blown nitro burner provides a tremendous amount of hp.
