Normally, I'd post antics like this in the stupid poo poo thread (or not at all), but I like what he's done to that tractor, and must admit... though youtube has plenty of tractor drifting and burnouts and gimmick poo poo, this is the first time I've ever seen someone actually smoke the tires doing an open-road burnout.

No, it is awesome. It made me vomit because it was too quick around the ring. Overtaking GT3RS's around the outside of corners at like 160mph made me literally throw up. And now it's all made of carbon at the front :)

Found this on some other forum. Not sure if it's old news or not:

http://www.hammacher.com/Product/12005

quote:

The Porsche 917 Le Mans Raceway.
Description
This is the full-sized Porsche 917 replica that conceals a 1:32-scale working wooden slot car track faithful to the iconic Le Mans raceway. Painted in the same color scheme and #20 race number—an homage to the classic 1971 movie starring Steve McQueen—the 917 has genuine race-worn GT prototype tires on aluminum three-piece rims and working headlights and taillights. The precisely molded replica cowling opens like a clamshell at the touch of a button to reveal the track within. Resplendent in its handcrafted detail, the raceway is built with realistic landscaping and includes period signage illuminated by working streetlights: the Esso Oil Drop Man near the Ford chicane, the Marchal sign on the famous three-level grandstand over pit row, the Martini barn, and the unmistakable Dunlop "tire" bridge. Hand-detailed aluminum Armco guardrails with weathered wooden posts convey additional realism. Dual analog racing controllers provide precise control for the 12 included limited-edition slot cars, including the dominant racing models from 1970-1971, painted in authentic period livery: a Porsche 917, Ferrari 512 Coda Lunga, and Lola T70. Plugs into AC. Special conditions and guarantee limitations apply. Please call 1-800-227-3528 for details. 13 1/2' L x 7 1/2' W x 3' H. Order by Dec. 15 for Christmas delivery.(800 lbs.)

Anyone who would put an LS in a TVR clearly hasn't heard the sound of a stock TVR V8.

Fuckin' things sound like someone took an old school Ferrari and made it inhale glass.
