[@jorgecaraballo1771]

Damn, that merc has my vote all the way. I want one.😎👍

[@charliehill5853]

Thanks for the video. Bring back a lot of memories as a 15 year old kid then.

[@eddieray437]

I never seen this before .I would pay to see it live . Super Cool.

[@KingJT80]

I have NEVER seen this. it like lost tapes to me! I have seen almost all the old USHRA stuff recorded them lost them etc and even went to a lot of the seattle kingdome stuff 30 years ago when i was my sons age. lol thanks for uploading this

Amazing! I haven't seen these tractors since attending my first pull at Arco Arena in Sacramento...1991/92. There is probably no video footage of the pulls here in Sac, but fun to re-live through this.

[@jimmycristofoletti7044]

Wow very cool. I remember seeing the 57 Chevy pull here in San Antonio. Judging by the names in the contest it looks like they re-bodied their old 2wds. Like the Rice Burner became the 57 Chevy and the Mercury was the old Magnum Jr. Can any pulling fans confirm if this was true?

Back when America was America.

I misheard Mike Hoff's name, and I thought it was 'Mike Hawk', so here I sit laughing my ass of at: '... side by side against Mike Hawk ... Mike Hawk is ready to go ... and it's Mike Hawk ... for a solid victory ... Sorry I misheard the name but it was quite hilarious until I realized my mistake.

Midnightkitty honest mistake

[@chuckmiller4685]

Wow I never seen that. It's bad ass

[@BobAround]

Love this class. Saw it in Pontiac in 1990 if I'm not mistaken.

[@maximumhardcore4362]

Keith Clark dude seriously?

[@chevylandt.v]

This would be grandpa Munster's favorite sport running the drag-u-la.

[@leejobe2235]

i wonder if they still have this class at the bigger pulling events. looks like a awesome class

[@HuntGamingProductions]

no

[@TheMKEWERBY]

Was "Impulse" "Persuader" remodeled?

[@drron5608]

Impulse looks like it has a ww2 v12 in it from a tank

[@jimh4167]

The same problem with all the rods. The back tires are like basketballs. Filling them 80% water would take the bouncy out.... But probably would be to heavy... Use taller rims with shorter sidewalls. (custom tires)

[@johncholmes643]

*UMMM* ............ ALL TRACTOR PULL TIRES ARE LIKE THAT.... NOBODY PUTS WATER IN THEM. THEY SPIN ENTIRELY TOO FAST FOR THAT MUCH WEIGHT. EDUCATE YOURSELF!!!

[@danielgallegos8869]

Pulling should be side by side period.👍🏻

[@blown572hemi]

A blown v12 1700ci Allison with the most power? Say it isn't true lmao

[@ericdesmeules8117]

Does this class still exist?

[@markschnell]

32 Ford Coupe? Looked like a 33 or 34 to me

[@morphman21]

Is there anymore videos of this class out there or was this a ONE TIME thing?

[@mattturner3953]

Ran for a couple of years, but this is the only known footage. Even Bobby Johns didn't know this existed until I showed it to him.

[@morphman21]

@@mattturner3953 what was his reaction when you showed him?

[@hyperluminalreality1]

That run at 4:40 was WAY longer than 5.19 seconds. What horrible timekeeping.

[@Mistertbones]

Do you have the rest of the show?

[@NickPettitt]

I used to record all the pulling and mud bogging but not the monster trucks

[@chad4208]

im sure the monster part is online....whichever show that is
