Tractor pulls---a big deal in IA. One for kids in Story City late 90s
It was part of the Story City Scandinavian Days
They had some kids toy tractors. A kid would peddle hard and try to pull a log attached to back of tractor. Fun to watch. My visiting niece seemed to enjoy it.
One yr at IA State's VEISHA celebration (it was stopped b/c of parties that degenerated into fights and riots with injuries and manor property damage) ---people had rigged up John Deere toy tractors with motors etc --everything needed. Then they paired up to see which one could pull the other
Fun to watch. Loud but not like a real pull. You could hear real ones blocks away.
People competing said they spent lots of $$ fixing up the toys to be competitive
