I've noticed the Super Stock tractors running turbocharged diesels will rev up their engines before starting pulling, obviously to spool up their turbochargers in order to build boost. Then, there seems to be some sort of trans brake or whatever involved that some of them engage about 2 or 3 seconds before they start out. There's a noticeable change in the engine sound and increase in the amount of particulates coming out of the stack. Anybody got any details? Just curious.
