Some of you may know MGB driver Rich Larsen and his traveling mechanic / pal 
Andy.  Andy is the one with the white crewcut, Butch Bohunk vocabulary and 
about 1,000 years of experience with making automobiles go.  You just naturally 
tend to listen to Andy when he offers an opinion about what you car is doing.

Well, this last race weekend at Blackhawk, Andy wandered over and stuck his 
head under my hood and offered the opinion that my car was "tractoring".  At 
first, I thought it was just a variation on the usual 
Triumph-motor-as-agricultural-implement joke.  But he said something about it 
again as we were cleaning up for the day, and I've been thinking about it 
since.  

I've never heard the word "tractoring" used in this way before.  Anybody have 
any idea what it means in this context?
