Count to ten thousand! (Part 1)

So, @renke, this is known as a TRACTOR: :wink:

If you go to a county or state fair in the Midwest, you have the chance to watch a tractor pull, which is much more exciting than you’d think. I always cheer for the more ancient tractor to win. It’s amazing to see how long and well these workhorses of modern farming can be kept going!

I thought the tractor pull I went to (in Florida) was incredibly dull. 12 seconds of fairly slow racing followed by 20 minutes of setting up the next one. Then again, I think most (*) motorsports are really dull to watch (but fun to actually do, even if only in videogames).

(*) the exceptions are figure 8 demolition races, Rallycross, and that sort of thing.

That does sound boring! Florida doesn’t seem to know how to do anything right.
