Diesel Freak COTD 99 Brody Smith

1999 Monroe, MI ATPA Grand American Brody Smith The Stinger. Because Allisons! This tractor was originally commissioned by Bob Dabrowski from NH. A Tim Engler holds everything together. Bob owned a tire-distributor in New England and was one of the earliest adopters of the "single cut" design cutters like Bob Parkes began offering in the late 1980s. The Smith family of Armada, MI acquired the tractor in the late 90s and ran it as is before updating it to the Alcohol Abuse spec it last ran with. This tractor is still in the possession of Brody Smith. It is unique for having the crankcases redrilled to run the cylinder banks offset from each-other automotive-style and side by side connecting rods instead of the fork and blade style factory Allisons ran. That rollcage, tho!
