you never heard of tractor pulling before???
make some research
basically, it's something little like a quarter miles, except in that case it's 300 feet, I think,
and the charge they are pulling is several tons on a skid pad and not wheels
and after each pass they augment the load

The Curtis Wright R-3350 has 18 cylinders and at its peak, with manifold pressures no longer possible due to the present day unavailability of 115 octane fuel, made around 3500 horsepower.
Sweet.

Yep, that looks right! I did notice the hemi on the top. Quite nice setup :-)
Almost 55 liters for an engine... pheeew.

Yep, that engine type still manage to fascinate. I think this engine has 24 cylinders, but it's just a guess.

Ah.. i would rather say WW2 engines as there are quite a lot of Rolls Royce engines out there that can do just as well.
Remember that the Americans had to use an English engine to get their P51 Mustang kick German ass ;-)
But this is exactly why i like tractor pulling. It's the easiest place to go and see the old engines in running condition.
