R Leo, those are some cool pics.Where were they taken? We have small engine pulls and racing in these parts but I've never seen sulky racing Really neat.

We also have a Porsche diesel like the one on ebay around this area. It's set up a little different as it was used as an orchard tractor.

Cheers,
