[AT] Need Tractor Game Suggestions

[George Willer]

Travis,

I miss the games at our show... we haven't had any for several years.  One
of the most fun was the skillet toss.  No tractors were used, but each lady
got a chance to toss a skillet at her S.O.  He was required to stand on the
target and smile sweetly.  Each lady was cheered robustly as she stood
behind the line and wound up.  Some of the ladies get into it seriously, but
the guys are allowed to get out of the way at the last split second.  It's a
real crowd pleaser, especially if they know the couple.

The slow race was fun until Spike Magsig showed up with his hybrid... a 6
banger G.M. pickup front with 4 speed married to a Farmall H rear end and
transmission.  The only tractor I know that could have beat it was Marvin
Bauman's Ford 8N with all 3 gear reduction transmissions.
