mods and unlimiteds that have changed hands April 21, 2023 02:26AM
Here are all the mods I want to figure out what has happened to, and where they have ended up:

1) "Simon Sez" light unlimited 2 engine mod.
2) "Simon Sez Show No Mercy" light unlimited two engine mod.
3) "Boyd's Green Streak"
4) "Boyd's Green Streak Limited"
5) "Takes a Licking" / "Takes a Licking Keeps on Ticking" (The yellow one)
6) Both Long Modifieds. Mav TV and Lucas Oil.
7) "Simon Sez" 4-engine PPL mod.
8) "Shell Shocked"
9) "Ruckus"
10) "The Gambler"

Here is what I think, but please help me out. I originally thought both Simon 2 engine mods were combined to make a super modified. But I think that is wrong. The 4 engine "Irish Challenger" looks like one of the old Boyd Mods. I think Bunnage's sold their yellow mod to Simon's who then waffled it off to Bill Leischner. I think it is "Dirtslinger Too." One of the Long Machines (I think Mav TV) is the black Simon Sez mod that appeared at the farm show this year. "Simon Sez" 4 engine mod from season before last I think was Bunnage's yellow mod that now is in Bill Leischner's hands. "Shell Shocked" and "Ruckus" are... still just for sale? "The Gambler" who I think used to be owned by a an in New York... I feel like I saw it running regional/ state level in Indiana or somewhere this summer with less motors on it.

That leaves one Boyd tractor unaccounted for, and one Long tractor unaccounted for. This is assuming I am even close to correct with what I am guessing at here.

Bonus questions:
11) "Bank Robber"
12) "North American"
13) LD Nation's last 4-engine mod. (It could be one of those up top. I feel like he was probably close to Leischner's/ Walsh's. Maybe Walsh's bought both his mods, not just the twin turbine.

1) "Simon Sez" light unlimited 2 engine mod. - Single engine mod in Michigan with Jim Martell I believe.
3) "Boyd's Green Streak" - Still sitting last I heard.
4) "Boyd's Green Streak Limited" - Still sitting last I heard.
5) "Takes a Licking" / "Takes a Licking Keeps on Ticking" (The yellow one) - Is now the "Dirtslinger Too"
6) Both Long Modifieds. Mav TV and Lucas Oil. - One is the new "Simon Sez" that pulled at the NFMS. The other is supposed to be an unlimited last I heard.
7) "Simon Sez" 4-engine PPL mod. - Walsh's "Irish Challenger 2.0"
10) "The Gambler" - Still pulling. Stayed and pulled close to home last year as a twin engine mod.
11) "Bank Robber" - Chassis is for sale. Rest was parted out.
12) "North American" - Still pulling. Pulled in Rockwell, Bowling Green, and Sandwich last year.

Irish Challenger use to be Simon Sez 4 engine mod. But it absolutely was a Boyd mod. Heard this from Greg. However, it is not one of the two Boyd mods that are still currently for sale. It was a previous version. Green Streak Unlimited to be exact.

Green Streak Limited and Green Streak are still parked.

You're right and I knew that. It was the Full Pull Motorsports chassis that won the points in 2018.

I heard it was going to cost too much to cut down the roll cage and move the pedals.

If I am correct, I think the "Simon Sez Show No Mercy" is now the "Time Bandit" of Austin Dornbush out of Illinois as a single-engine mod.

The Irish Challenger 2.0 used to be the black 4-engine simon sez mod, which before that was the newest Green Streak chassis.

I am unsure of where the white-green streak mod or the black green streak limited mod went.

The mod Simon's own now is the MAVTV Long mod. I don't know where the Lucas Oil Bullseye went.

The Time Bandit is the old cotton candy tractor. The Simon sez show no mercy went somewhere out east.

The only thing left from Bills old mod is basically the gearbox on that tractor.

Going nice to see the "dump truck" motors back in action.

New unlimited from New York? May 02, 2023 04:03PM
This isn't one that changed hands but a new build.

The Pullers Championship webpage shows a pic of a new tractor for Dylan Owens. He'll run 4 at this event, but the photo looks like it would hold 5 if we could see a right front engine. Is one or both Owens tractors planning to run unlimited this year?

Also NY related, Mark Cole ran his tractor as a twin at a few late season State pulls last year. Anyone know if he'll be back with 4 or 5 engines this summer? Will Eder and Biers run this year?

Owens will be running NTPA Modified and PPL Super Modified with both tractors. Tom's will run a triple engine 14-71 setup, while Dylan's will run a four engine 8-71 setup. They will be running new hemi engines and are parting ways with the chevy's. The chassis was bought from Wayne Purser, a new 2019 Modern Machine chassis, and picked up at the Fort Dodge pull last year.
