Hi !
Although the weather was rainy today, my son and I visited a Tractor Pulling competition, not far away from Vienna. I think this kind of motorsport is more popular in the US, but as seen today, there are also a few Austrian “fast, loud and dirty”- enthusiasts. I still wonder where they got all the exotic engines from ? Here are some pictures:
Russian Isotov T-2 helicopter turbine. He scrapped the gear box while starting. Lot of noise, no pull...
Modified Austrian Steyr 9,7 litre truck engine with 2400 HP.
Russian V12 / 40 litre Diesel from a battle tank with 2500 HP.
Allison V12 from a P-51 Mustang / 3000 HP.
T-54 Russian tank engine with 39 litre capacity and 1300 HP.
Continental V12 tank engine.
And at the end a V8 ( presumable Ford ).
