Something is not right about that engine combination. The YouTube video is from last year where he lost the entire engine out of the frame. This incident just looks to have splits the block...again. Those are too many wild rides too close together for most drivers I would say, let alone in a pocketbook.
Maybe Sascha can help us out and give us an idea of what is going on and what the rumors are over across the pond. Any info would be appreciated as simply curious minds are interested to know. |

I wasn't there...
Fact is, most of those violent SS engines exploding over here (as seen on Youtube) are all out of the same stable. Maximum Risk, European Maid, Terminator, Heart of the Eagle, .... There is a bunch of talk going on about those over here - but I stay out of that as it's already getting pretty dirty.... Here's a video of it: http://vimeo.com/4772037 Floating Finish - the German Tractor Pulling Web Show and EU Live Streams: [www.youtube.com] Edited 1 time(s).

Check out the guy in the red/white suit waving him (I am assuming to stop) @ 15 seconds of that video. |

What am I doing wrong that I can't view the video? I can follow the link and when I click on play nothing happens. I have tried two different computers and still nothing. |

Once you can view the web-site then click the play button in the center of the screen. It worked for me.

It looks like that one came apart at the main bearings. Most of the US diesels that I've seen pics of after they've split seem to come apart near the cam. I figured there was a parting line there that made it the weak point... |
