Some fantastic looking machines there, favorite was the first or second full pull where you can see the exhaust system go cherry red through the louvers in the hood

I actually love the Euro tractor pulling series, I watch a lot of the videos on youtube! Johannes Meuleners channel is a good one! I would love to go to Made, Haßmoor, Füchtorf , etc, someday to watch. Such a fascinating mix of different tractors and powerplants. A lot more aero-engines used, love the radials, Allisons, RR, etc. Dragonfire has that monsterous Zvezda marine radial diesel converted to methanol like the super stock tractors. Just love all tractor pulling!

Skippy~ As for perception: Drive what you like and can afford. Those who don't like it can supply vacuum to one of your components. LOL

If you need parts, I have some!

There's flames shooting out of your engine, but it's ok, just drive away anyways.

Diesels converted to spark ignition and burning methanol, just residual fuel burning off in the hot exhaust. Some of these classes of diesel & methanol burners run between 200-300+psi of boost! And that's not a typo, in fact thats the reason the US sanctioning bodies mandate large steel cables that encircle the entire engine in case the head studs break! Nobody wants a couple hundred pounds of cylinder head launching like a missile off the engine and landing on spectators heads. There's some good videos of these machines blowing the entire upper half of the engine off
