Here's what happens when they hit the water. The truck to the left is the 454 Chevy racing a Model A to the right. Notice who's winning. In a 2 lap race quite often a tractor can be a lap down and still win because the lead vehicle couldn't get thru the water in a reasonable time. Every imaginable kind of tractor is raced from lawn tractors to purpose built stuff. Everyone wants to win but more importantly it's just for fun. You will be dripping with mud at the end of the race no matter what and no one cleans up. Your supposed to stay muddy for the days events. If you go to the www.tractorrace.com web site and read the rules you'll see that you could race your tractor, your pickup, or any peice of junk you throw together. In fact there are a lot of old pickups with a hay bales tied on in back that run the course. I think the rules just say it has to be some kind of farm vehicle and thats a real loose description.
