Not even three weeks to go before it's Ahoy time again!
European top riders will be represented at the 30th edition of European Super Pull.
As a special attraction, the organisation has managed to secure two American machines to appear at Ahoy!
Both Ryan’s Toy II and Double Stuff, owned by Larry Robert from Wilmington (Ohio), will appear in Rotterdam on 8 March.
Ryan’s Toy II is a Case International MX270, which competes in the United States in the unlimited super stock class. Under the bonnet it has a six-cylinder Brent Long alcohol engine, which thanks to its three turbos has a capacity of over 4500 hp. The machine is named after Ryan, Larry Roberts’ son. The machine is driven by Tim Howell. Tim is known for his fearless driving style. At an indoor pull in Louisville, for example, he drove Ryan’s Toy II several times into the sand pile at the end of the track. Last year, Howell finished fourth in the Grand National circuit in the unlimited super stock class.
Double Stuff is a unique machine equipped with two Brent Long DT466 alcohol engines. The power supplies have been bored out to a capacity of no less than 598 cubic inches (9.8 litres) and are each equipped with three turbos. The engines deliver about 4,800 hp each. The regular driver of Double Stuffed is John Evans, who works for one of Larry Roberts’ companies and is a mechanic in the Roberts pulling team. He is also the regular driver of the super stock Big Toy II, with which he won the well known indoor race in Louisville (Kentucky) in 2005.
Double Stuffed made its appearance on the circuit halfway through the 2007 season. After a cautious start, he soon got into winning ways. At the Grand National pull in Tomah he finished second in the modifieds class.
