I doubt it was. I have been to a few tractor pulls and pretty much every one of em had somebody blow an engine in just as spectacular a manner. There is just so much torque involved that when they go they really go. It is sort of what people are waiting for since watching a vehicle slow pull a heavy weight a few yards is not real exciting otherwise.

That's what happens when you cruise at 4000 rpm.

Don't worry it will get resurrected in 3 to 5 years by some new guy that says simply "me too".

Torque is just French for power; they mean exactly the same thing. I heard this from a woman who looks like Ned Flanders so it must be true.
