Team Biography Team Black Power

Here we have the next Team Biography and it's one of the most successful of all time, the Black Power Team. The team was founded in 1994 by the Larsen family in Denmark. Since then they have won 12xEuropean Championships, 29xDanish Championships, 5xNordic Championships and 1x the Eurocup, but their biggest victory was the Winning the European Championships in Herning 2000 on homeground. Their first tractor was build in 1994 and in the winter 2009/2009 they build a totaly new tractor. They drive 2,5t &3,5t mod with the tractor. The tractor has 3-5x chevy 550cui fitted with Blowers, Enderle B&U-2 injections and MSD 44 ignitions. They have a homemade transmission and a Rockwell differential. The tractor is very light but still very strong and makes always a very greeir favoritat show with fast runs on the rear wheels. The pulls are in Hjallerup and Füchtorf. Their goals for the next saison are clear winning Danish Championships and reach a top 3 place at the European Championships and in the EuroCup. To reach these goals the team is making some secret changes.

US Videos

Thanks to Google, who have enlarged my picasa webspace to 80 GB, I can now share several (old and not so old) US videos I have sitting on the shelf. Gives me a good reason to finally convert and store them on HDD and upload them to my picasa gallery.
I am converting and uploading (and will keep on doing so for a while) as I type. Check by and also check that gallery in the future!

Biography Team Dingo

I've send some Emails to some teams with some questions to make some Biographys of the teams, the first one is the Dingo Team with their tractor Dingo. The team was found in 1987 by the four Larsen Brothers in Denmark. The first Dingo was built during winter 86/87 with a Volvo TD50 Engine. In the next years the took bigger and bigger engines. Finaly in 1993 they had a MAN v10 with 16l of displacement and 4 Turbos, you can see the tractor on the picture below, but the engine made some problems.

In 1995 the engine was changed to a MB ON 403 with hardened connecting rods and pistons and cylinder heads. Since then they use this type of engine. The very hard tuned engine has 16l of displacement and has 320hp - 360hp in stock. Now the engine is producing over 2000hp and makes over 4000rpm using two special turbos, a special injection pump and 8 hole injectors. At the moment the Dingo Team is running in the 2500 kg Modified class with their tractor, that was build in 1993. They allways try to keep up with the methanol guys and they allways try to make their live very hard with their Diesel technic, without the help of any sponsor. The tractor has a homemade transmission and a Volvo 614 Truck differential. They say their biggest victory was at the European Championships 1991 in Great Britain. Their favorite pull is in the Herning Pulling Arena Denmark. Their goal for the next saison is place 3 in the Danish Championship. To reach that goal they are doing some changes on their engine for example the intercooler and a 14m Bosch P Pump. Feel free to visit their website http://www.teamdingo.dk. Below you can see how the tractor looks now. For me it's the most friendly tractor of the world :-)

European Final Pull Micropulling

Big Stage for the smallest!

For those who can't wait until Zwolle to watch Indoor-Pulling the 21^st of November (saturday) should be noted in your calendar. The first EUROPEAN FINAL PULL in Micropulling will take place in Anholt-Gendringen. The Location is just a few steps from the former Tractorpulling-Arena on the dutch side of the boarder. Radio Controlled tractors from three nations will appear on the starting line. The host of the event is the agricultural contractor Van Haal.

Every Top Tractor from the NMPO (Nederlandse Micropulling Organisation) and the German Community RCTP (Radio Controlled Tractorpulling) will fight under floodlight for the most important title in this motorsport. There are 6 categories (3,5kg; 4,5kg and 5,5kg modified; Two Wheel Drive such as 3,5kg and 4,5kg Superstocks). The spectators can watch the competition, sitting on the installed grandstands and follow the live results on a big wall screen. For the micropulling newbies the organization committee has created an information brochure.

But als apart from the 13 meter track there's a lot to look at. The NTTO Super Stock tractor Zapo will join for exhibition such as the new 2,5t modified tractor Another Russian Invader with a transmash tank motor on methanol. For the physical well being there will be a diner and, most important, enough to drink. Stephan (Schizo) Görtz will care for the music. He already did this job on several DTTO Tractorpulling events. Together with the announcers he will create the typical Indoor-Pulling-Atmosphere.

 

It will become especially noisy when the three tractors of the Team X-treme will appear in front of the sledge. The guys from Anholt and surrounding have good chances to win a trophee in their categories.

One of the highlights of this Saturday evening will be the maiden run of Frema's Toy. Driver Martin Stouten was already well known for his turbine powered micropullers in the past. His latest creation is powered by two selfmade turbines, with a wheelspeed of at least 120 km/h and more than 10 hp.

 

The Micropulling Comunity likes to welcome all pulling fans to watch this extraordinary kind of tractorpulling. The event will start at 4 o clock pm and THE ENTRANCE IS FREE !!!

Oldie pictures

Hello Sacha,

 

I have put some old tractor pulling pictures online in a Picasa web album, all of them from the 1980's.

I think I have around 400 to 500 and will all have to scan them.

The link is http://picasaweb.google.com/gaqua2004

If you need to know more contact can be in Dutch/German or English.

I am a Dutchman living in Central London.

 

Regards,

ETPC Farm Stock

As we'll have a working weekend with the ETPC soon and the 2010 rulebook is part of it, I think the Sport, Super Sport & Farm Stock teams should have a look at the current rules that should be valid in every ETPC Member country for the next season, with maybe minor adjustments to be done over the winter.
I am somehow under the impression, the safety features requested in there have not yet made it into the minds of a lot of competitors in several circuits (air restrictors at lower (not Pro Stock) safety standard, individual turbo shielding, side shields) - but they are absolutely mandatory on any event sanctioned by the ETPC or any of their member associations from at least 2010 on.

If you want to voice your opinion or have questions regarding the rule book, you can do so in the Farm Stock forum (where you will find the rule book, too) and I'll try to answer why rules are the way they are.
If you want something changed, please inform either your ETPC representative or your representative of the Farm Stock "working group". Your national board should be able to answer who is in charge for this in your association.
