Video Clip Ryan's Toy
There is a clip of Ryan's Toy's demo run in the evening session on our video channel
Ahoy Results
Official results Ahoy
(Click the framed picture for the picture gallery)
Short info
Super Stock:
Ryan's Toy was just barely ahead of the british IH brigade, Velhuizen broke turbo, Derksen hit rev limiter off the line - backed off and sorta ruined his run that way.
Ryan's Toy laid down one heck of a nice winning pass in the Pull Off.
TWD:
Predator out on top - did everything right. Screaming Bobcat and Heart to Beat on the following positions.
3.5t Mod
In 3.5t the Double Stuff, running 200 kg over weight, had an excellent first pass but one engine wouldn't start again for the pull off.
Whispering Giant was by far the best, Judge on a nice runner up spot, putting a few meters on Desperate Dan. Popeye ran out of gear with new HP tires.
Pro Stocks:
To sum it up: "Valtra power demonstration"
TWD second session - missed it
4.5t
Double Stuff back for the 4.5t in the evening with weights packed everywhere. Inofficial info was about 4200 kg total weight. Nice pass but not enough to keep up with the "real" 4.5t competitiors (some 3.5t tractors pulled as "class fillers" with underweight).
Green Spirit won 4.5t ahead of a great running Popeye (suppose John ran in low gear) but blew the rear end up.

30th Ahoy Super Pull
It's Ahoy time again! For the 30th time the Ahoy stadium in Rotterdam will host the European Super Pull. Fans are already betting on the results of the "US - EU" competition with a Modified and an Alky Super Stock tractor from the US going to run there this coming saturday.With the "Double Stuff" of Larry Roberts chances are good to see a "fair" competition as the tractor was build for the US 3,4t modified class. Even though it doesn't fit into the engine limitation of the European modified class, this time it will not be an overweighted unlimited tractor blowing the EU mods off the track. Question remains what is going to happen in the heavy 99 mod class, that has meant trouble for the US competitors recently. The Super Stock competition should become interesting, too as the class limitations are alike in the US and Europe, even though there is a slight weight difference of 300 lbs between those two classes.
Anyhow - this is a weight difference that can be taken care of, as it's usually within the "moveable weight" of the component tractors.So it will be the two Bits'n Pieces tractors, Red Fever, Red Alert, Just Smokey and others against Ryans Toy II.
I will be at Ahoy taking pictures and should have them up by sunday afternoon along with the results!

Finally... all the videos I wanted to put on the web are online now.
Takes "veohTV" to watch them in full length ... but I'd say you can spend the sunday watching.
