Another out of the box thinker October 25, 2022 12:10PM
On the same note somebody will have to help me out! Out in Nebraska there was a modified tractor that was trying something different for years. I never saw that tractor get down the track! I believe the puller name was Geiger and I can't remember the name of the tractor if my memory serves me I thought they were trying to run like 4 turbos on some type of engine! I know thats pretty vague but somebody out there knows what I am talking about lol!

Jeff Geiger. Dave Geiger's son.
It was a V-12 Allison cut in half.
Built in Doug Robert's shop.
Some magnificent engineering involved.
Plagued by tuning issues. Since it was being tuned by a committee, things didn't work out as planned. I was hoping it would work out. It showed huge promise the few times I got to see it.
I can't remember what they named it.
The crew has bought the Captain Hook tractor. It is a unique engine set up. But I forget what is so different about it. Kinda sad since I was flagging when it ran at Springfield, Nebraska.

The half Allison. Had 6 turbos. I'd have loved to see it succeed.
