Tracked Vehicle (Tractor) Racing video
Hi
While not strictly tanks, this video from the past is worth a watch. Some early tracked vehicles racing in the days before health and safety went mad

Anybody for seatbelts [:@]
cheers

Really great....that's where the "tank" idea came fromin the first place. I'd like to have a small tractor like that for fun. Wonder what happened to the guy when the barn roof came down in him. [:@]

Thanks for the video post. It's amazing how a simple rollbar can make all the difference. The whole time I was waiting to see one of the dozers roll over onto the operator. They're lucky only one guy was killed.

and from the looks of it, there was zero suspension in those things... i can see why some guys literally got thrown out of the seats...
