In Pictures: Engines roar during annual ‘Thunder on the Prairies' in Odessa

The ninth annual "Thunder on the Prairies" truck and tractor pull saw machines of all styles, and time periods, compete. (Gareth Dillistones/CTV News) Fans of motorsports and horsepower were certainly at home in Odessa, Sask. over the weekend – as the annual 'Thunder on the Prairies' took over the small village southeast of Regina. The display of raw mechanical power is certainly hard to miss – as the sound of roaring engines could be heard from miles away. Rigs of all shapes and sizes were burning gasoline, diesel, steam and even jet fuel to pull a weighted sled in front of thousands of spectators. Some custom-built tractors had three engines with up to 10,000 horsepower. The big green sleds being pulled are custom built to provide a heavy challenge for all classes of machines.

(Gareth Dillistones/CTV News) 'They have different weights in the box, they have a skid on the front, different gears for how fast the weight comes forward,' Russ Leguee of the Prairie Pulling League told CTV News. 'So, the further you drag the sled down the track, the farther the weight box comes forward. It changes with every class.' Now celebrating its ninth year, the modified truck and tractor pulls are accompanied by a car show on the community's main street. Over the years, the event has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for various projects in the area. Odessa is located 70 kilometres southeast of Regina. -With files from Gareth Dillistone.
