I noticed this example of how farm boys will hotrod almost anything sitting around.  Actually I'm sure that the modifications are for tractor pulls, but the idea is the same. Wayne I'm just a simple maker of love charms and tokens,who occasionally takes a picture or two.

They turned into the monster Car Crusher shows in the '80s but it's the same people and organizations. "Nitro Burning Funny Cars!!!!!!!!!!!! SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!" Anyone remember "Art Arfonse" ?  When I was in college I worked for a steel warehouser, one of there customers rebuilt lawn tractors for tractor pulls. Once when making a delivery of steel they offered me the opportunity to take one of there Nitro methane burning modifications for a test drive. There just ain't no way I am going to get on a 100+ horse power nitro methane burning lawn tractor, then or now. But there are those who do, and think it is fun.
