For the tractor and backhoe operators,
Some news of a modern day British tractor company (JCB). It broke the world diesel engine land speed record in Bonneville. Twin 4.4 liter 4cyl. engines making 750 hp each. Top speed average 350 mph. I wonder what would happen if I put one of those in my 3. hmmmmmm. Can you say disintegration? Anyway heres the video link its a bit long but different.

Using a damned big tractor as the push vehicle is impressive also. I bet it took some doing to get that thing to run at the launch speeds that the record breaking car needs to get going!
