Anyone know the severity of the damage done at Langford? Are they going to try to pull anywhere else this year?

You'd think Hans would get tired of kicking Ernie's can down the road.... I realize he is a capable builder with a lot of things, but rotating assemblys always seem to be an issue with that tractor.

Brand new tractor technology no one else has tried! Innovation takes some time , it will work and there was no rods out of the block!

What Kind of new technology is in that engine? I guess they still do not run Quad Turbos?

The video on Facebook looked like the motor/ turbo setup responded and the rpm's were there; but the clutch and/or rear end did not transfer the power to the rear wheels and then 70 fairly slowly traveled feet later something let lose with a bang. There was a lot of smoke from the rear end area it seemed also. There were posts by a couple of other pullers who were there that the motor was windowed, not sure that means rods came out but still sounded like pretty serious damage. I am sure in time whatever the innovative setup they have built, they will work out the problems.

All I know for sure is that they spent a fair amount of time picking parts and pieces off the track, also whatever let go looked like it came out the bottom-end. A few people told me that there was a big window in the block and that they were picking up aluminum rod pieces, but I don't know what's true and what was speculation. I know they're not running a Hyper/Schnitker/billet/etc... block and that it has an IH block in it but I don't know if it's a DT466 or not. They're really nice people and I'd love for them to get some reliability, but something in their program just isn't working yet, and it's been an awful long time since they had any solid results.

I would guess it is because Hans has not spent enough money yet. Ernie is the best at getting enough money spent that it should run. Keep trying, you may get it yet.

hypermax may cost more but you get what you pay for! what has ernie EVER done with a diesel? NOTHING! NOTHING! NOTHING! wear are enies top running diesels? pretty sure bone twister red horse and triple bypass are mostly hyper or hyper bottom ends and they are kicking butt. how can ernie keep coming up with excuses for why it doesnt run or why it cant keep together?

It's a good thing we don't all like the same stuff, I personally like a guy who is trying something different than a cookie cutter program!

Thing is if you try something different people scoff at you for it then if you figure it out and beat said cookie cutter programs then your labeled a cheater. Personally I'm all for a guy trying new things best of luck to Hans and his crew hope they get all bugs out soon.

There's a lot more parts than just block that can fall on track and just maybe the part that failed was hypermax.

I picked up most of the parts, no piece of cast bigger than half of a golf ball and a few pieces of aluminum. The rest was shrapnel bits and pieces that looked like somebody swept out underneath a milling machine.
