The Trixian Racing Association has decided that what with the growing trade in the buying and selling of tractors recently we would help boost the market and help sort the "wheat from the chaff" if you will by hosting a Tractor Grand Prix to pit them against each other.

There are 10 places available, only one slot per nation!

Applications are now welcome in the below format:

Nation Name:
Tractor Make/Model:

OOC: No idea but saw there was a few threads on them so thought this might be a laugh!

OOC: Was wondering the same thing also, but I figured why not join and have fun.

"Hellloooooooo Tractor Fans! My name is Steve Hill and i'm here in the pits at the first Trixian Tractor Grand Prix and I must say, its all beggining to take shape down here.
I'm just next to the Kinstantia entry at the moment, its KMW 8500-LX looking striking in its black and yellow paintwork though I think we all know none our are paintworks are going to stay gleaming for long! Thier driver Michael Clayton is busy tinkering with the engine so i'll leave him be for now I think, back to you in the box Peter and Jane!"

"Thanks Steve! Yes so news just in our fifth slot has just been filled by the united socialist states of Rumanovia, they'll be driving a KUSHOV 744 P2 this year, don't see many of those eh Jane?"

"No Peter you don't, not sure why though they has all the power you'd need for this kind of course but some people think the traction is low compared to the other models out there"

"Well i'm sure Rumanovia driver Boris Zsadyn can handle that beast. So that leaves us with only 5 spaces left so hurry! When we reach ten we're starting!"

Tractor Bump

*brakes on the P-T-44 come loose, it rolls down a hill, bumping into the thread*

Kor Garaak: Sorry, Won't happen again. Somebody forgot to pull the parking brake.

Thats ok, we'll send some mechanics to look at you 'bumping' handbrake.

MIchael Clayton smiled at the announcer as they gleamed over him... he was quite the cutie. ANd, quite skilled at handling a racing tractor.

The humble nation of Superlemon would like to apply to race their John Deere 2720 4WD Compact Tractor. Our team colors are yellow and green. Our veteran drivers name is Ray Farmer.

Many Izhevskians will be attending the event, and we fully support the Rumanovian K-744 Tractors, Drivers, and people.

Only 4 place left Tractor fans!

The USSPP's Penguin Mascot, in another ill-fated attempt to fly, leaps from the top of the grandstand, flapping its wings, and lands on top of the thread with a loud BUMP.

((Whoops, I've got to remember which Account I'm using... That's one of my nations, so pretend I posted it with this one.
