Danny\u2019s tractor is fitted with a Honda cbr1000 engine, out of a 1990\u2019s bike. It has straight through pipes, and bell mouths on the carbs. The timing has also been advanced to enable it to run on VP race fuel. Danny said \u2018it is a little down on compression, and he is just waiting on it going bang, before he can start on a rebuild\u2019. The other tractor, I have no info on as yet. (any info appreciated) <\/p>\n<p>Danny won both races with an 12.53 @ 107mph v 14.8 @ 90mph. and an 11.92 @ 108mph v 14.34 @ 92mph.<\/p>\n<p>He has run down into the low 11\u2019s before @ 114mph, but with cold track conditions and being down on power, this was not a bad run. Hope to see him out again next year, running on Renegade Race Fuel and sponsored by Jeff Ludgate.<\/p>\n<p>Note: I have removed the earlier video, as I found this quicker run that I filmed.<\/p>\n<p>Please like the videos, subscribe, check out my facebook page and contact me if you are looking for a video of your vehicle.
