Expensive Dyno Video: Watch This Hot Farm Pulling Tractor Engine Fire A Rod Through The Block During A Pull

This is one of those situations that can be viewed a couple of different ways. Listen, none of those ways is that great but you can take this situation, you know, the one where your big pulling tractor engine literally barfs a rod through the block down a few paths. You can freak out and blame the engine builder, which is all good, unless you are the engine builder. You can look at it like it was an inevitability and the fact that it happened on the dyno and not after the engine was loaded in the tractor, hauled to a pull, and prepared to hook, or you can silently load up your mangled engine and drink until your eyes bleed. That’s the big three that we can consider.

When we are talking about Hot Farm class pulling, the tractors have to keep their factory look to them, meaning the sheetmetal and frame have to be stock appearing. The engines have to use a factory head and a factory block and are limited to around 600ci. (Some of these rules do vary from organization to organization). Diesel is the only fuel, the engine has to have a stock appearing intake manifold and exhaust manifold and the engines are allowed a single turbo. Said single turbo is usually around 76mm on paper and then there is all kinds of wizardry happening inside of it. But long story short, these are stock style engines that are hot rodded to within an inch of their lives, or in this case, 100hp too much!

The way that this thing starts to sound when loaded down is kind of sickening and then POP…here comes the rod. Doh!

TX2K23 Day 1: Mustang Nearly TAKES OUT Lamborghini, 200mph Races, And MORE

Image
It’s that time of year again when everyone converges on Houston Raceway Park for TX2K. 2023 is going to be the last TX2K to be held there, as the track is going to be closing soon. Where will it be in 2024? I’m not sure, but I’m sure they will make that announcement before the end of the event this weekend. This event is known for big performances and unfortunately some big crashes too, as folks try to push their cars to the limits for fame at TX2K. This year started out just like last year, with a crazy crash that involved a Lambo. This time the Lambo was not the crasher, but almost the crashie. Check it out! Video Description: TX2K23 is upon us, which means the fastest street cars from around the United States have gathered to compete for records, trophies, and of course – bragging rights! Last year, we saw an unprecedented amount of wrecks, most of which were Supercars. This year seems to be taking a similar route, however we can’t take away from the insane level of cars that thi...

Helmet Sale: Simpson And Racequip Are On Sale Now! Quit Using A Crap Helmet.

Image
I just got back from Holley’s LSFest West in Las Vegas and the number of people who are racing, or trying to race, wearing crappy helmets, or those that are NOT designed to be used in a car or truck, still blows me away. It gets better all the time, but even so, we need more people to do the right thing for themselves and buy a good helmet. I remember when I got my first helmet that was actually bought for me to use while racing cars. It was awesome. It fit better than anything I’d ever borrowed, and it was mine. I loved it. I have had several helmets since, but regardless of my budget, I’ve always bought a helmet that is specifically made for racing cars and is certified for doing so. Helmets can be expensive, but they don’t have to be. With this new sale coming out of Holley, their Simpson and Racequip brands are both having helmet sales. Yes, a clear-coated carbon fiber helmet is going to be more expensive than a painted one. But from a safety perspective, you can get the same prot...
