The driver then works the differential brakes and clutch in an effort to get the rear tires to alternately leave the ground in a right-and-left fashion. Once this has been achieved, the driver then uses the brakes and clutch to get both tires to bounce, slip, and grip simultaneously. This transition from right-to-left to simultaneous slipping is the tough part, and it may take several tries for the driver to be successful. The front end of the tractor then works like a pull hammer as it swings up and down through a 20 degree range as the driver keeps the tractor bouncing with the clutch. This action then scoots the sled down the track. Obviously, these tractors MUST have wheelie bars.
