In our understanding, each thing should be used for its intended purpose. For example, a well-known tractor is used for towing agricultural implements and trailed carts. Where else can you apply it? It turns out that there are tractor races in the world. Such unusual competitions are held periodically in different countries. Tractor racing is the most popular in the United States. To date, there are twenty-two registered tractor racing associations worldwide.
Competitions are group and speed. Regardless of the type of race, the main condition is the transportation of a heavy trailer at speed by a tractor over a distance of about a hundred meters. The weight of the platform depends on the class of the machine. It is believed that tractor competitions were first held in the United States in 1940. On the territory of the CIS, tractor competitions are held differently: tractors compete on special more complicated tracks in cross-country races (like buggies and jeeps).

In Russia, a racing super-tractor was created on the basis of the twenty-five-year-old Belarus tractor. The tractor engine was brought to two hundred horsepower. The miracle tractor is capable of accelerating over 100 km /h, which is a direct application for the world speed record among tractors of this model. According to the competition regulations, it is forbidden to intrude on the braking system and steering. The rest is given freedom of action. Many people flip stock wheels to improve cornering. Fuel is not always used simple - motor oil or aviation kerosene is added to diesel fuel. Only the recipe for the "cocktail" is different for each team and it is kept in the strictest confidence, as well as the changes in the tractor design. For example, suspension or gearboxes.
