Tractor pulling sled got wrecked

You didn't invite the Army over from their recruiting booth with an M1A1 Abrams tank, did you? That happened at our county fair. Fortunately, it was "the last pull". In more ways than one.
 
That M1A1 tank would pull that sled. We ran drawbar pull on them with this vehicle. For the lower gears we coupled an M88 Recovery vehicle
coupled in reverse on the last trailer. Pulled over 100,000 pounds and the tracks started to lose traction. Hal

No I don't have any pictures at this time.
What happened is that the sled rite after the first pull, went to travel backwards to the starting line. He hammered down full speed
backwards and ran into an 8 wheel drive
articulated john deere that was pulling the
leveling drag. The john deere was parked at the
starting line. The sled operator never even
looked backwards. People were waving at him to stop from both sides. [I was on the one side]
No body go hurt but it smashed in the back of the sled real bad.
