The Dark Side

The new Truck is now all painted and ready for the stickers. If you would like to see the Teams first pulls , be at Kirkbride this weekend

Simply Red

Simply Red has been rebuilt again after finding a water problem after the first fire-up. Now ready with new diff gears & new gears in the gearbox, to give a better ratio this year, John has fingers crossed for the weekend. The team are hoping that the new datalogger fitted will give them vital information to help them get the tractor dialled in more quickly. A re-panelled hood and new stickers, Simply Red looks great for the first outing of 2009.

Red Mist

Red Mist has undergone major work over the winter and is now ready for Kirkbride this weekend. With a crank grind and new shells fitted, Alistair had help from Chris Wilkinson to fit a new pump drive & timing cover that was found to be worn out. With a successful boost test in the field last Sunday, the Red Mist Team are hoping for better results this year.

MEETING

The next meeting will be held on Tues 21st July 2009 at Gt Eccleston Village Centre at 8pm

Lancashire Bomber Modifications

Chris and the team have been busy over the last few months with lots of modifications to the Fordson Major. One of the big changes is the fitting of a new Crower slipper clutch. The Tractor was successfully fired up last Saturday, and hopefully all will be ready for the first event at Kirkbride,

Simply Red Winter Rebuild

Well, Simply Red was up and running on Saturday, running like a gud un, with all the new bits fitted, and the new data logger up and running. John went to drop the oil last night, and found water in sump once again, and that's after a new block!! Engine now stripped again suspecting a cracked liner, so taken it round to engineers shop and he has just confirmed a hairline crack. Luckily John has a couple in stock, and will get one honed out today. So it looks like this season is going to start like the last one finished, busy nights.Well it will stop John getting bored.

New Truck Puller

Simon Haworth is currently revamping the old Scapheap Challenge truck up to the latest rules, hoping to have it out for the first pull at Kirkbride. The truck , with a new paint job, will be called The Darkside. Look forward to seeing it on the track.

UK Teams in Bernay

Last weekend was the Euro Cup round in Bernay France. Bad weather throughout the weekend meant that the only class completed, with UK teams was the 3.5T Superstock. That class was won be Incredible Deere from Holland, UK placings - Red Fever 2nd, Red Alert 5th, Just Smoky 7th.
