Tractor/Truck pulling models

Has anyone come across models depicting this sport?

most important would be the sled.
trucks and tractors could be kitbashed

scale is unimportant

Rick,

The tractors I've designed could easily be adapted much like the real ones are. Just have to make the waste line weight brackets, roll cage and wheelie bars.

now just for the pulling sled, and we are in business

That's a pretty high tech sled compared to what I'm used to at the antique tractor shows here.

I went to the national truck and tractor pull finals a few years ago in Louisville KY. I took several pictures of the tractors in the pits. The sleds are typically a combine or tractor cab on a semi truck trailer. Let me play around a bit and see what I can come up with. Any preference on scale?
