New top Mini Mod in Denmark

,,Black Smed´´ that´s the name of a new 950kg / 2095lbs. Mini Modified Tractor in Denmark. It´s also a return of a not unknown person into the pulling sport, who was successful as Modified driver for a Danish Pulling Team in the late 90s. The person is Flemming Smed, 44 years old from Herning in Denmark. Flemming was a long time Team member of the Fox Pulling Team, who was own by Torben Larsen in that time. He was the engine man behind the Fox Team and also later the driver of the Modified Tractors called ,,Fox´´ and ,,Fox Junior´´ from 1997 - 1999. In 1997, Flemming become the new driver of the Fox Tractor, because Torben Larsen´s brother Peter retired from the Pulling Sport in the beginning of 1997. He was pretty successful in that time, won a couple of Euro Cup rounds and national pulls in Europe. 2 times he finished in runner up position of the Euro Cup point standings in the 4.5t Modified class. That was in the year of 1997 and 1999. In the end of 1999, Flemming stopped with Pulling. But he never was completely away from the pulling circus. Sometimes he helped out as engine mechanic at the Fox Team or he was at the pulling events as spectator, like at the European Superpull in Rotterdam, the Netherlands or on his Euro Cup home pull in Herning / Brande.

Last season there came the possibility to built a Mini Modified Tractor. A Mini Mod Chassis of the Lambada Pulling Team was for sale. In September 2017, he purchased the old Hella Lambada 9 Chassis of the Dingerink Family from Zwolle, in the Netherlands. The Chassis has a chrome-moly tube frame with a chrome-moly cage, a custom built steering, a Advanced Chassis sheetmetal rear axle housing from the USA and light weight carbon fiber fenders.
The Advanced rearend has a TRB Machine & Tool billet aluminium center section with a billet aluminium diff, a Rockwell F106 ring and pinion gear, Strange brake calipers and brake discs. The billet aluminium diff is a Vampire Gears (Bennie Vreeman) / TRB Machine & Tool combination. The Mini also got a Vampire Gears transmission with a custom built driveline, a new Trick Titanium bell housing and a Molinari 10" inch centrifugal clutch with 2 discs.
In the package of the Lambada Tractor also were a set of used Real Wheel aluminium rims with Pioneer Giant Puller tires.

The new Black Smed is powered by AJPE 5300 V8 Hemi engine on methanol fuel.
It's currently one of three Mini Mods (Ghost Buster Pulling Team from Germany also has two Minis with AJPE motors) in Europe who's running with an AJPE power plant.
The new engine has AJPE billet aluminium block with new AJPE 5300 cylinder heads, Manley valves and valve springs, homemade stainless steel exhaust headers, a Bryant crankshaft with GRP billet aluminium rods and Wiseco pistons, a DMPE 18-71 blower with a Enderle big & ugly scoop, a RCD oil pump, a homemade fuel tank, a Sassy Racing fuel system with a Sassy Racing fuel pump and a MSD 44 Pro Mag ignition. Last but not least the ride received a completely new paintjob and new vinyl graphics on the fenders.

All in all, the new Black Smed is currently the most powerful Mini Mod in Denmark. Flemming compete with his new toy in the Danish Championship this season.

Flemming Smed would also like to give a big thanks to Johannes Hauge for machining all custom parts for the Tractor !

Powerweekend Made 2018

3,5t Superstock Made 2018

European Mini Mods successful in the USA

A pretty successful weekend had our two European Mini Mod Tractors called ,,Toplenzen Lambada 10" and ,,Bobcat Jr." in Benson, North Carolina two weeks ago. Benson was the NTPA Grand National opener for the 2050lbs. Mini Mod division. Session one was a close battle between the dutchman Wim Dingerink with his Mini called ,,Toplenzen Lambada 10" and the US American and former NTPA Grand National Mini Mod Champion Adam Bauer from Paton, Iowa with Cowboy Up. Wim Dingerink led for 10 hooks the class, but the last competitor Adam Bauer past the distance of Toplenzen Lambada 10 by only 0.42 feet and won the class. The new Bobcat Jr. of the Screamin' Bobcat Team finished in 7th. The new Sassy Racing V8 Hemi engine ran bit too rich on fuel and driver Phillip Fairbanks from Fitchburg, Massachusetts stopped with the Ironboy sledge at 312.350 feet. Saturday, was a clean sweep for the 2 Dutch Minis.

Wim Dingerink made another nice pass and won the 2nd Session of the Mini Mod class by 0.5 feet in front of Phillip Fairbanks with Bobcat Jr. Before the second session the fuel setting on the Bobcat Jr. engine was improved and the power plant ran much better. Not so good was the evening for the previous day winner Adam Bauer with Cowboy Up. He went sideways and finished only in a dissapointed 16th place.

In the current point standings of the Shell Rotella Cup, Toplenzen Lambada 10 from Zwolle, in the Netherlands leads the Cup with 59 points in front of Iron Toy from Paton, Iowa (3 points behind) and Bobcat Jr., Ijsselmuiden, the Netherlands (6 points behind).

The next stop for the Lambada and Screamin' Bobcat Pulling Team will be the NTPA GN round in Tomah, Wisconsin.

Rocky sold !

The IH 1066 Component Pro Stock Tractor called ,,Rocky" of Barend Huybregts from Hoeven in the Netherlands was sold without the turbocharged engine to the Red Impact Pulling Team from in the Netherlands.
A few weeks ago the Rocky Team got the question from the Red Impact Team about components for a new component chassis. One thing led to another and they finalized a deal that they will buy the chassis, rear axle, rollcage and the complete hood as a base for their new Tractor. The Rocky Pulling Team will finish the current season with the Tractor and the dutch guys will build a completely new Rocky in the upcoming winter for the 2019 season.
