I saw some cool info on the sport of Tractor Pulling

In the Unlimited Modified class they will use 15 gallons
of Methanol for a 300 foot pull

That is 1 gallon for each 20 feet they pull the sled

NOW ... there are 5280 feet in a mile ... ...

I watched that same exact thing. My girlfriend was b*tching the whole time, I don't understand why though, aren't 12,000 horse power tractors interesting to everyone?

I liked the ones that had 3 and 4 jet turbines!
