Drag saws, tell me more

I have a line on an old drag saw, supposedly complete, the description I got says the motor resembles the old Maytag washing machine motor. Anyone recognize what is being described, I would love to hear about this saw! Thanks for any response.

I've seen these at tractor shows, they are not like a drag racing saw, rather, the exact opposite. The ones I've seen were like a rotary cross cut saw powered by a hit and miss motor. Very slow, but very cool.
