This Is What Race Tracks Do When They Don't Have Races
This Is What Race Tracks Do When They Don't Have Races-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:28

Someone in the office must have been really bored to think of this obscure world record, but it looks like it could also have been part of a promotional event for the new HD that’s pulling the flag.

The Guinness World Records website , but doesn’t appear to have details on who holds the record for the largest pulled by a moving vehicle.
