Believe that falls under: I aint as fast as I once was, but I can be as fast once as I ever was!

:twothumbsup:   Still waiting for enough old men (not the term I wanted to use  ;) ) to have an "over 60 (or even 50) class".

Several clubs who are not in the ARMA or USLMRA groups have those.
But being over on the west coast, yall haven't been around long enough to form those.
There are many racers over 50 though.

Well here's a run down of my test and tune:
Lap 1- forgot to fiill er up and ran outta gas :doh:
Lap 5 or so- broke the chain
Ran great after that for awhile
Lap 30 or so- came into the turn a little hot, got into the marbles, got er sideways, hit the berm on the inside of the track, demolished the front end... fixable though

it's all good. At least it was the stock kohler 18 motor! When I get that Denso, that little puppy will scoot with the EC Motor on there! :3gears: :3gears: Nice tuck and roll, tho. Metal heals better than bones, so it's all good.

You seen how my test n tune went also, after last year it was an awesome day, lol...Other than a broken chain, but I think that was my fault, should of got out of the throttle when it was bouncing around. Your orange mowchine gave me a work out though, that thing was fast.

My mower ran great except I broke the chain. I've never broken one before. I probably got in 50 laps that day. Also realized that after 3 years on this machine that it simply sits too high. I've since cut 4.5" off the seat height. Can't wait to see what that does next time.
