We played that game with both the inline six 855 and V8 903. Tractors were a 950 set at 348 hp and a 976 set at 360 hp. The 903 won hands down.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
