I don't know if he got spanked. If he would have dropped six and hooked after Shramek he would have go into the pulloff, but I don't know if he could have caught Young Blood. That tractor is running really strong and started the season off with a big win on a good track.

I suspect Boxler will be the one beat if they can keep the drive train together. Young blood is tough. He's three for three starting at Louisville. Does anyone know how big that motor is and what keeps it together.

Yeah a big steal girdle and a nice thick head with several bolts clamping the block between them. If I remeber Brian right its somewhere in the low 500ci range. Still has a 426 Allis in their!!

Orange,
Do you know who built that head?. Just caught a glimpse of it the other night at Wilmington. Quite a piece of iron. He made two nice passes the other night. Do you know what happen to Lock and Load?

I believe the head was built by Max Simpson, about ten years ago or so. I think that he only made a limited number of them for the ol 426 Allis.

I will take this from one of the Morgan's "it runs like a scalled dog".

Alcoholic,

How are they holding the block together . Are they bolting it vertically from top to bottom on the outside of the block or do the bolts run on the inside some how . Its making a bunch of power and not breaking.

I couldn't tell you on how they are holding it together, but they are doing a hell of job at it.

Two or three seasons ago, they had problems with the crank. I remember at Troy, they broke a crank on the second pass in the pull-off. I remember Dennis telling me that was there biggest problem they had was getting it to run for two passes. They could get her going on the first one, but the second pass was their problem (mainly the crank).

My guess is that they don't turn it near as hard on the first pass, and untwist the screw a little more on the pull-off pass. Trying not to run on kill everytime, that is what has gotten them back to back championships. They have done their homework and it is paying off for them.

I thought the head was built by REI but they might be just doing the freshining on it. Its a cast block of steel thats machined out. If you've seen it. Its massive! Hold about 220lbs of boost if I remeber right. Yes the bolts run on the outside of the block. Girdle and Head are the bread and the block is the peanut butter.

Didn't think they broke the crank at Troy that year just spun the mains. remeber them working all night polishing the journals all night to get it back together for Ohio the next day. Brian and his dad and crew put alot of effort in that tractor. Plues they a good group to set and talk to. Unfortuanatly I will not be able to help them out at the Jeff City pull. Here's a knock on wood to the rain gods to stay away!!!

Well if he came out and spanked everybody you know where that would go, illegal block-unfair advantage-ect.-ect. Guess all the hoopala was no big deal after all. Just glad hes back, lets go Pulling!

You complain about how he doesn't run a year and say he is a whiney boycotting IH cheater, but then say how the class will flourish without him when he is gone. You contradict yourself and no matter what Esdon does, you will just bad mouth him some more. Another thing, there are a lot more people wanting to see him run at NTPA events this year than there are that don't.

PS: For complaining about whining so much, you do a lot yourself.

Jesse,
Who has the new Superstock deere that did all the bouncing at wilmington. Is that a big block. Looks awesome under the hood. Should be tough once they get er lined out.

No. They were involved some with Stan Auen's tractor called Froggy.

No, this one is like Boxlers with Ernie Conner helping to build the powerplant, When it was winding up at the start it was just like Boxlers the way it sounded

It is a big block. I believe some of the parts were bought from Dick Bonner, like the cylinder head I believe, which is a Staab billet. Then I believe John has put a lot of work into the engine. Yes it has a lot of potential. Hopefuly he can get the bounce out it. It should be awesome to watch.
