Saw a car mag the other day with EJ Potter, the Michigan Madman, and his Chevy powered motorcycle. Then read the post below about the nasty Moline puller.Does anyone remenber EJ's UGLY tractor? Cockshutt rear, Tank Retriever trans, and a big ole' Allison V-12 on th front. 10" I beam fram rails, Cessena nose gear up front. Only paint was "ugly tractor" painted on the valve cover. He bought a rail car of engines at surplus in Chicago, and would just drop in another when one blew. It was said that the first mod was removing the govener, then overdriving the supercharger. I saw him pull at Ingahm County, MI once. The other Mods were just getting to th full pull mark. He pulled the sled out of the track and probably would have gone around the corner of the race track if he hadn't already shown them what for. He pretty much was untouchable until the turbines showed up, and then the 4+ blown alcahol Hemi's and Rat motors with slipper clutches. Then he made Double Ugly with 2 v-12's, someone said that this was an experimental W-24 block rather than 2 v-12's. Then he made an absolutely beautiful V-12 Injected on alcahol for a lady puller. Nothing like 24 Hillborns beneath a big air box pressurized by the factory supercharger, double speed driven of course!
