One and a half decades ago, also in Denmark, there was an also interesting to watch uneven engine combo: Curtiss Wright R3350 and a blown V8 Hemi
And that was the same hemi that Leif put on the nose of Slædehunden

the hemi is there to run the supply pumps for the diesels
No it is not - Just pulling a driveshaft at double the speed of the V12s

It probably won't make weight.
That twin V12 / Hemi combo from Denmark (and those were aluminum engines) was scrapped because it was a 9900 lbs machine that couldn't make weight anymore when the class went 8800 lbs.
And ironically the class went to 8800 lbs because Leif quit - He was pretty much told that as long as he kept pulling with the 2 x V12 + the hemi, the class w

Great - You want to add another smoker/tractor class... Just what everybody wants right...??

Put some more weight on the nose. Make it a pull and not a race. Fixed the issue with the Bauer mini sled in the Netherlands. After they put a weight block on the nose and took a little bit of speed out of the start, the minis stopped flipping - Basically just a calmer and more steady pull.

Watching this, keep in mind that US sleds don't need a box control - That is just a silly European idea

Kill switch kills the engine the instant the tractor is removed from the sled

The front wheels on the sled may not have been lifted - But they were merely rolling and could be lifted by a couple of fingers according to people working on the sled.
It look funky to me too, but apparently they didn't hold any weight.

That move would pretty much make them identical to European Pro Stock - But what is your reasoning for abandoning the 540 cui, that has been used in several US classes for years?
I have been arguing that Europe should go to 540 cui and 8800 lbs instead of the current 510 cui / 7700 lbs to make them closer to the US classes.

Hi,
I have been to Ahoy a few times, and these are my suggestions:
Get seats as close to the finish as possible, and preferably at the lower deck (although upper deck isn't bad)
Ear plugs are a must ! ! !
It starts out a bit cold (jacket) but the arena heats up after a few classes (no jacket).
Expect to spend an hour or two in the open pit area (big building next to the arena) and rem

Jamie, I think you should talk to Bredahl Brothers Pulling Team - They have been doing great with their Ford engined Pro Stock puller.
Hope this helps you out.

Talking to a lot of the European guys who changed from F106 to the Vreeman planetaries, that is what they told me - Not by big numbers, but definitely lighter.
That coupled with the possibility to run a lighter chassis is why they made the change at first. I believe that the fact that it was less prone to torque steer due to the higher RPMs in the driveline only showed up after that - Call it an

And remember, the planetary rearends are lighter than the F106 rear - Plus they allow for a lighter chassis due to less torque being transferred to the chassis.

Does anyone have bore spacing for the BBJD as well? And maybe the Deutz 413/513?
Thanks
