Most of these engines are alcohol fueled so really just water alone is enough to dilute the alcohol. Also the aresol can extinguisher works my suppressing the oxygen levels thus killing the fire
In some of the clips there were people in fire-protective gear carrying much larger extinguishers. However, someone with a tiny extinguisher will be able to run over there much faster and spray it where needed more easily. The better protected & better equipped people were needed to put out the more stubborn fires, but the small extinguishers usually seemed to do the job.
Most of these run on alcohol which is diluted by water? A great many of these vehicles are powered by jet fuel, kerosene, Diesel and gasoline. All of the vehicles have petroleum-based lubricants, many plastic and foam components of course the obvious rubber tires. There should be at least one trained firefighter in a fire suit with real fire extinguishers. My suggestion would be 10 lb ABC dry chemical and two and a half gallon AFFF water extinguishers at each side of the track at the Midway point

As former Pro Stock drag racer, I'm no stranger to front wheels in the air so I gotta ask... Why do so many of these drivers insist on cranking their wheels either left or right (perfect example at 6:06) as soon as they come up? It's pretty much a one way ticket to a wreck.
Heh. If I've learned one thing from these videos, it's "hope your rig doesn't catch fire", cuz the safety crews are slow as winter molasses and those itty-bitty extinguishers are not effective if the whole engine goes up!
It’s always amazed me how those mini-mods jump around so much! It seems like the two enormous testicles it takes to strap into one would really keep it weighted down.

I don't understand why you never see anything bigger than a hand held puny little fire extinguisher at these events. There is enough oil and fuel in those engines to totally engulf a tractor and driver in a matter of seconds. If I am on fire don't piss on me dump a whole ocean on me...
Every quarter-mile race track I've been to has a fire crew that's on scene within seconds, with a full-size foam cannon if needed. If I was sitting on a chair on top of a methanol fire I would be pissed if a pair of rodeo clowns showed up with aerosol cans of water
The announcer on that first had me 💀😂 “Got a little leak on the bottom there”, and by a “little” leak, he meant any and all fluids, and the entire bottom half of the engine. Oh, and it’s all on fire 🔥😑
What do they do with the soil from these events? I'd imagine it just gets incredibly saturated in gas, coolants, and other harsh chemicals. Is there a clean-up or disposal process?
So fire ex the size I gave my mom for a kitchen grease fire? A@17 minute gal drops a decent size one. Then can’t figure where to use it? If I was ever stupid enough to do this. I HOPE my drive shaft breaks fast. Hundreds, couple days max, vs months to rebuild engine, transmission, transfer case….
Towing it only. The sled has a heavy weight that moves to the front of the sled while the tractor is pulling it down the track. When the weight is all the way to the front of the sled, the sled is digging into the ground making it very difficult to pull. The sled will drive in reverse after the pull is done, back to the starting line, by the sled operator.
I’m about over minis. Too much trouble. I remember when people in Ky started building them in 70s. People came out of the woods to watch and they didn’t have hardly any problems with them.
Saw my first tractor pull competition this past weekend at a local fall fair. Didn't have anything like the races in this video happen but it was still pretty cool to watch. It ran from noon to 7pm and I saw "run what your brung" trucks, tractors, modified trucks, super modified trucks, and more. Lots of diesel burning, dust churning and fans cheering.
1:40 The "whole motor" WASN'T "loose".. The engine backfired and sheared off the aluminium studs that were holding the supercharger on. What you saw that was "loose", was simply the supercharger/injector hat/bird-catcher assembly that was flopping around on the heads after the studs broke. The rest of the engine was still solidly bolted to the chassis like it should have been. The aluminium studs that hold the supercharger to the heads are a safety mechanism and are meant to be sacrificial, and break, if the engine backfires to prevent the blower case from turning into a thousand pieces of flying shrapnel. They also prevent a TON of dollars in broken parts.
As a kid I remember when tractor pulls used actual tractors..like the next day they'd be out in the field cutting hay or something. Now these machines are a cross between a tractor and drag racing car.
" Don't worry folks, we have a great safety crew, they are going to be on it pretty soon". Eventually some dudes saunter in from different angles and give it a free sprays. Apparently from their personal extinguishers by the tiny shots. And why do the rigs with 3-5 engines stacked on it always have the tiniest, weakest front axles, tires and frames they could possibly come up with?
What is this a mini fire extinguisher competition??? The most powerful engines, yet the smallest extinguishters

It was good to watch since it wasn’t my back pocket 👍👍
I'll bet every single one of the "crews" shown here have filed bankruptcy more than once.

How much do those motors cost on average? Just curious ya know
in a very eco friendly way

On dirt when that front wheel comes down it keeps u on track vs breaking you lose distance .

@@johncholmes643 Neither are good.
Fire crews are as slow as sxxt
Those safety crews, two words that don't belong together must have been in training or they wasted all their equipment budget on Budweiser and hats.

A lot of these are a good reminder of why roll cages are important. When that Massey hit the Camera Crane I laughed out loud🤣
I know right? That was the funniest thing I've seen happen. The driver was like hey you need to move your camera and goes smack into it
The driver was probably wondering if he was going to need plastic surgery after the run.
@FITNESSOVER457:33
The driver (or a tractor) thought: that camera has to die!
It's amazing to watch these "officials" with their silly little fire extinguishers and these big tractor fires.
Their gonna need bigger fire 🔥 extinguishers!😊
Those silly little extinguishers are probably made by a company called FireAde. They work exceptionally well.
@2:21 “There’s a fire? Better pull off my flame protective gear right away”
That flame protective gear is about the ONLY thing that will burn on the entire rig. It's all metal....

The fire fighting section and equipment seems a bit lacking, but great show.
Nice video man!
Besides top fuel boat drag racing, this seems like a close second for fun ways to go broke and get hurt. Lol.

Great coverage, tractor pulling is a yawnfest though
i wonder what the repair bill was for this lot?
A cost neither of us can afford
Couple of those clips showed the importance of a good cage! I wouldn't trust my welding in those circumstances
Yet none of them wear a hanz device. That little neck brace doesnt do shit
love it they bring all those brand new contramptions and boom goes up the money tree.
I like the way they put the exhausts into that big tube, i've never seen that before!
Neither have I
They’re used to it. With their wives.
Neither have I but it was probably an indoor event and it had to control the fumes through some kind of filter...
What amazes me most is how well those tiny little fire extinguishers do to get the flames under control.
The size doesnt matter

@@Stambo59 those women are normally of large size

the only thing more redneck than a tractor pull is a guy trying to put out a fire in a t shirt and shorts lmao

7:20 "Anyone wanna see my impression of a roasted marshmallow?"
Can someone tell me, are they towing the dozer or are they fighting in reverse against it?
Towing it only. The sled has a heavy weight that moves to the front of the sled while the tractor is pulling it down the track. When the weight is all the way to the front of the sled, the sled is digging into the ground making it very difficult to pull. The sled will drive in reverse after the pull is done, back to the starting line, by the sled operator.

1:40 The "whole motor" WASN'T "loose"..
The engine backfired and sheared off the aluminium studs that were holding the supercharger on.
