MotorMaker glad you had fun, thats what its all about right? I didn't have fun and I'm not ashamed to admitt it. And yes part failure is a part of the sport, but I can tell you straight up I would much rather have a weld on a jack shaft break than a critical weld on my steering. And I think any racer out there would agree with me on that. Myself I dont trust a factory weld, especially when they are designed to cut grass at 5mph. I was trying something different when I was doing my driveline and it didn't work, a lesson learned. But I went back to the drawing board and tried it again. So far I haven't had a problem with it. When I was building mine I decided to keep it as factory appearing as possible, and a lot of people told me it wasnt going to work the way I was building it, to me thats just going to make me try that much harder to prove them wrong, and for the most part I have suceeded in doing that. Trying different things is how this sport has gone so far in a short period of time. I've seen alot of the mowers in the pits at 12 Mile and have raced against alot of them, and I wouldn't even jump on them things if I had a death wish. So like I said before I will continue to race with my MWRL buddies and feel safe with whom I'm racing next to. 12 Mile has been around long enough that you would think they would enforce safety a little more than they do.
