Hi all,
I hope the admins allow this...it links to break.com. Just saw a pretty cool video of a tractor with three jet engines...has sound. And yes...the guy eventually does leave the line, lol.

Cool This is a Change of Pace...
I thought the "rednecks" were suppose to do the bar-b-que, not be the bar-b-que. Were those guys nuts, or just stoned drunk standing behind that monster?

Ok now I know what Alcohol and Lack of Brain Cells combined make.


We went to a Naval Air show couple years ago in Jaacksonville, FL and they had one there that popped 300MPH in a heartbeat. Actually it was kinda cool, but didn't see anyone standing behind it like on this video...........

Well I myself never would imagine it would fireball that far back, lol. Totally threw me off guard. I ed around on Youtube and found a couple of others...one really cool one with two trucks that did the same thing with the fireballs and they pretty much toasted the advertising / sponser billboard behind them, lol. Although...Im not too sure why they do that for...is that part of the start up process of the engines? I thought they needed an external power source to fire up...have never seen real jets acting like that...blowing smoke and flames and yadda yadda before it finally took off.

Redneck afterburners, just dump raw fuel into the exhaust and spool it up. Gotta admit its a helluva show though, stupid bystander included.
