Tractors?
By the way, aside from the VIN plates, what original parts remain in a two
hundred mile an hour Midget.
Or was it KPH?

Tractors were never meant to be driven fast. You can't plow a good
field at 50+ MPH. My '72 Midget has been clocked at well over 200 on
the straight at PIR. Had I known I was as close to a class record as I
was, I would have pushed her a bit further over red line.
