i have to say i enjoy the light class the most. the variety of colors is a nice change from the red and green parade. i expected sweet 16 finish a little better. he clearly has the power to get the job done, just did'nt quite get there. |

There are many with enough horsepower to get there.Thats why that class is so competitive.Looks to me like he got there.There was 14 tractors behind him Thursday night. |

the 1850 used a perkins, correct?? if someone is really building a perkins, it will prove to be a mistake. the perkins is a good engine in stock applications, but is the worst possible choice for pulling. i helped a guy work on one and they simply will not perform, waste of time. |

you should'nt make unqualified assumptions until you know the facts. first off, just because you could'nt make one perform does not mean someone else cannot. secondly, any engine can perform given the correct attention in the right places. and lastly, you must not know the two guys who are doing the work or you may change your opinion. you will look a long time to find guys more determined on oliver performance than those two guys. i think they deserve credit for taking the challenge. granted, nobody in recent years has worked with a perkins 6 cylinder; at least to my knowledge, but that really does'nt mean anything. it may not be easy, but it probably was'nt easy to get a waukesha engine to run like sweet 16 does either. personally, i'm looking forward to see a perkins run in that class. it will be interesting to see the results. |

The Light limited class has the best color show and how the guys get the different combinatins all to run so close together. Too bad the idiots at the all mighty NTPA could not get thier red and green glasses off and see the aray of color brought to the track. I am no expert but that class has to have numbers not too far behind super farm accross the country? Great Show LLSS!! |

Thanks for saying they are a waste of time.It's bad enough trying to keep up with a Waukesha now after that statement I'm sure the Perkins will not be given up on until it is competitive.That's all they need is more drive to prove people wrong!The owner might have to go on a diet though!Start doing your exercises Aaron, your starting to let yourself go. |

sorry if what i said offends you but what's true is true. one look at that motor should be proof enough. the guy building it must be a idiot. a perkins in that class will NEVER compete. |

Facts.

If you werent so narrow minded, you would be able to see there is more than one version of a 354 to get parts from, better parts. keep that tunnel vision you have though, some one needs to keep places like Hypermax in business!! LOL |

That's what is interesting about the class. What some people will do to make something run. It is a great class. |

Hey Sully how do you reply to a post and not have it end at the bottom of the list? |

Mark, I agree... All you need to do is is tell one of these bull headed Badger State guys " it can be done" next thing you know...after a few hangovers, you have a competitive tractor racer. Just look a the LLSS class, there is Pea green, Off green, Off white, Black, Orange, Sky blue, and even red and orange. they all kinda run. Just wait till someone says a Kubota will not work! |

A Kubota won't work!And pea green?Common.I like to call it lime vodka green. |

kubota would probably work better than a perkins. |

I would rather run a waukesha but I would take a perkins aslong as its in a Oliver, bring in the off colors!! |

you think perkins are junk and he's an idiot for building one?? why not make a list of your great achievements here for all of us to see?? |

i've read your posts: you not so bright. there is a perkins out here that runs what we call mod hot farm 8500# and it runs really good and it is very competetive with the boys. if the right people are working on 1850, a few eyebrows will raise up. that motor is very capable of running as good as anything else. maybe better from what i've seen. better keep your eyes open dummy. |

Yeah, Alan sure had an impressive run on fri, too bad they switched up the drivers and couldn't balance it sat nite. It was nice to see Darrin lay down some nice pulls right footed! |
