Some of the biggest fun I ever had was doing about the same on a bigger tractor (with a smaller engine) on a polo field in the rain. Ten forward speeds and separate brake pedals for each rear wheel. I want to shake the guy's hand that thought of that. It is a mystery how I was not fired or killed.
I lost my job making glass eyes for merry-go-round horses back in my youth. I decided to become a mercenary commando soldier, you know, hired gun, but unwisely chose the Salvation Army as my outfit. I never got to kill anybody, and I've got tinnitus in my right ear from the bell now.

One of the guys in my old tractor club up north had a Ford 9N that had a turbocharged Offenhauser race engine in it - the 485 hp version.
Besides being loud, it was very quick with street tires.
