Last Happy Moment....

...before I learned I broke my engine on that run (see about 7
seconds in, right side, on the YouTube Video). Ocala last Friday
night. Pulled 259 feet (on a 250 foot track) and took first place by
11 feet, running it up on top of the barrier at the end. It was great
fun (until I learned I had broken a valve).

that would have been a fun ride !! what kind of wheels are those on the front ? Nice tractor
 
You can shoot me an email. (I think I did this right, I'll check it when I post and fix it if I didn't)
 
Yea, it does. Throttle stuck right there at the end but I'm pretty sure it happened before that. I could feel it when it blew that puff of smoke, but by that point, adrenaline overcame good sense.
 
Got those out of Summit Racing. I was going to build a set to make it look like the old Farmall spoked front wheels and then found these. A lot easier, even cheaper and certainly lighter.
 
busted the valve, that then busted the piston, then sent the piece of the valve over to a cylinder on the other side and banged around a bit over there. Going to need some pretty significant machine work, a couple new pistons and valves.
