New frame for Daffy

From Bryne in Norway, the Daffy Pulling Team around Frode Horpestad are currently working on their Light Modified Tractor called ,,Daffy´´. The Light Mod receives a new Domex 700 wedge frame with the Rollcage (ROP) of the old tube frame, a new homemade hydraulic steering and a new homemade sheet metal rear axle housing. The old tube frame broke durin the Pull Off pass on the Euro Cup round in Lidköping, Sweden this year. The Team hopes to get a better balance with this new Domex wedge frame. The rear axle of the Tractor also gets new lighter hub reductions with new special made Mercedes planetaries and completely new brakes. The fenders and the side covers of the engine will be the same as on the old one.
The 6 cylinder John Deere engine on alcohol also will be completely disassemble and checked during the winter.
The Daffy Pulling Team will compete in Norwegian Championship and in the Euro Cup next year.
The first start after those changes is planned for the May of 2017 in Bryne, Norway.

The new Walk the Line

From Wadesville, Indiana in the USA, the Koester Racing Team have built a new 2050lbs Mini Rod Tractor during the last winter. The new Mini Rod received a Chrome-Moly tube frame, a Dana 60 rear axle with TRB planetaries, a TRB differential, a Profab transmission, homemade aluminium fenders and a Browell clutch bellhousing with a Molinari centrifugal clutch. The new tube frame and the Rollcage (ROP) was built by the Koester Racing Team, together with TRB Machine from Zeeland, Michigan. The drivers position on the new frame of Walk the Line is a little bit more forward, than on his both older brothers called ,,Beast of Burden´´ and ,,Footloose´´. The Team hopes to get a better balance with those changes.
The Tractor also got a set of new aluminium rims with new Pioneer Giant tyres.
The new Mini Rod called ,,Walk the Line´´ is powered by a Miner Bros. V8 Hemi engine with 8.3l capacity on methanol. The engine has a MBR 14-71 blower with a JBR Carbon Fiber injector, MBR Alcohol cylinder heads, homemade exhaust pipes, a Bryant billet crankshaft, Arias pistons and GRP billet rods, camshafts from Crane Cams, a MSD Pro Mag 44 ignition, a homemade fuel tank, a Waterman fuel pump and a Racepack datalogger.
The Koester Racing Team had a very successful season with this new Mini Rod. The driver of  ,,Walk the Line´´ Adam Koester won the NTPA Grand National title and the Bowling Green Ring this year.
