I have a Van Loon Super 73 family in my loft. this family has done an exceptionally well for me as well as others in derby's and club races over the pervious years. In the early days I  crossed some of the Van Loons with Grondelaers and they have did a great job. About 5 years ago I decided to try crossing them with Smeulders (OKV-77331/97) Brother  to Cal Murray's "Maximus"  (CU 97 OKV 77330 G sire to 2201 $25,000 winner at the Canadian International One Loft Race).  I have bred  6 youngsters and  4 of them bred quite well in the last 4 years. SL 1025/10 is a blend of these two crosses, this cross has done very well for me in the last 2 years. Take a look at the results on my website www.sahotasloft.com
