    I made the mistake of attending one of these events at what was then the Omni in Atlanta in the 1970s. By the intermission, there was so much carbon monoxide in the arena, you couldn’t see the people sitting on the other side. It’s a wonder these events are not banned from indoor arenas.

      Exactly, the only tractor pulls I’ve been too are out doors for the reason. Hm….

    Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless. You can’t see or smell it.

      While it is true that the gas itself is odorles and colorless, vehicles exhaust containing carbon monoxide is definitelly not odorless or colorless. I’m sure everyone has seen cars and trucks belching exhaust. Trust me when I tell you that the arena filled with so much exhaust, you couldn’t see the people on the other side. And it stunk to high heaven.

    Well now I see the government will regulate electric tractors.
