We’ve covered virtually every angle of the Blown Centless pulling tractor nuclear-level disaster at the NTPA National Championship pulls in Bowling Green, Ohio…aside from one. That would be the clean up. How did they get the tractor out of there, all the engines cleaned up, and the buckets and buckets of fluids that poured out of all four engines as they were in various stages of escaping their bonds on the frame of the tractor. The great thing about being at a tractor pull is that trucks and equipment are part of the game. We’re pretty sure that multiple fork lifts, pickup trucks, and one tug Jeep constitute a flotilla of equipment that likes of which have never been seen on the drag strip after a wreck…especially the trucks driving away with multiple engines in the back of them!

The tractor sure looks sad when it is being towed off with no engines on it. Not only no engines. No engines, no fuel system, nothing. It is a bare frame and four wheels with the driver sitting between the big tires. That sucker had some serious flex going on as it headed down the course and while we have not been able to find out the root cause of the failure, it is pretty interesting to see a naked tractor being pulled away because the design looks really basic. Did this one have too much chassis flex? The dead hemi engines probably think so!
