Mikey likey. One of my favorite tractors (not the most powerful though) is the one powered my three helicopter turbo-jet engines. Can you say flames 20 feet high (at least)?

Oh gads. That would have been impressive. :Q

Pics?? :D

I gotta see one of these 6 engine beasts. I know how unbelievably hard it is to get 4 engines synced. I can't even imagine how hard it would be to sync those 6 engines, let alone mount them!! :Q

they are a sight to be seen.

No kiddin a treat! Nothing like see'em come off the line. Front pops up 4 damned feet in the air, rear tires lookin nothing but a blur with dirt flyin and engines screaming. Then about 5 feet later they really hook up and just walk down the strip till about half or 3/4 the way where they just start to lose traction (In the final runs when they get some weight on the trailer).
In the beginning its more of a sprint to the finish line.

dont forget that these are 4 wheel drive machines your talkin bout too (well some) and they can pull wheelies just as easily, some run nitro methane, sum run alcohol all depends, there are a few neear me, the silver bullet is from around here, the blue ox is from around here, and a decent 4x4 truck w/ a 1200hp nascar motor in it.
