I notice a couple of new tractors this year.

Never satisfied in the 2.5t modified and Knightmare in the 3.5t modified. Does anyone have any info on these tractors? What engine set up are they using, what their background is, etc?

Del,
Never Satisfied is the new 2.5Tonne Mod of Rob Van Der Waal, stablemate to Terminator , the Superstock 1066. It also runs an IH 466 motor, pretty much as you would find in a Superstock!

In spite of the weather, a good show today, some great runs and fortuntely no breakages given the slick in places track.

Would have been good to see a better tussle between Black Gold and Never Satisfied.

A very good big pro-stock class, Still more new tactors to come this is really turning into a great class with some close competition cracking run from Ted to take the win, and bice to see JBJ back out and going very well also.

In the Superstocks the good old cast iton back ends showed the components how to get into the track, great runs from Red Alert and The Terminator.

Just like to say a big thanks to all involved in this weekends event

The North West Club members pulled it off again even though the weather was against us.

It just goes to show what we can achieve when everybody pulls together because that's what makes a good day's pulling for the tractors and a good show for the paying spectators.

Thanks again for your support and backing

Chairman of the North West Tractor Pullers Club

Blair, this question has been asked before but in Tom's defense, he really no worse than me... Questions have been asked about the content of my extra-long cigarettes in the past and the answer is still Drum!
