Well this was midnight Monday Night. The rear half completly done. Brakes back on and bled, Even got my famous brake lights on and wired and working. Gotta have the brake lights its my signature.


Tuesday evening, Ok gone as far as I can in the shop. Its short sleeves again believe it or not. Back out on the lift. Motor on tranny in clutch on drive is complete. Just gotta add the chain and exhaust then hood and grill. OH notice all the BILLET. Part of mt sponosrship. E.C.Distributing. I am running the 8" and 5" billet pulley's we make and the billet clutch assy. Tranny plate chain tensioner and front axle assy.


Well here is what you all have been looking for 10pm at night after a few laps in the front yard. Yup I got street lights out here in the country and can ride at night. And no close neibhors. The first look at the newly painted 07 EC Distributing, Bertrand Hydraulics, Digatron, Precsion cams, ARC Racing, herrin Motor Sports Chassis and engines Amsoil, SUPER SPORTSMAN. Sorry I sounded like a commerciial. I couldn't resist it.


Here is another look. I havn't put the lense in yet because I havn't figured out what color I am gonna paint it. SILVER or BLACK or maybe even yellow A yellow number same as on the hood and another sponsor logo yellow and white will be on it. Your thoughts. I will take it to work tomorrow and make a new shifter my welder finally died (wore out) and put a transmission/shifter cover on, make a chain gaurd. And she will be done. This is chassis no.7 by the way. Of my personal racers of course. I can't even begin to count how many I have actually built over the years.

Man that thing is Purty!! You do some really great work George. I think the red looks really good, it really stands out. All that billet is sweet! its a shame it will rarely be seen, no worries about those pullies blowin up on ya though. Again, great work George, ive really learned a lot from this and your sons build.

..."I used that motto to keep going, keep pushing, keep digging to
find a way around, or through to find a hole, some kind of break that
would allow some space. Once something broke thru, I could be there to
take advantage. Then I would finish 7th instead of 10th." - Dubba G

Looks really good George...but I really liked your blue colored mower's better.

I like red, but I guess being on a mower (racing mower) it hasn't grown on ME just yet (just like the color green I also don't care for on racers)....But who am I.....As long as your happy..I'm happy!

Just letter the heck out of it!!!

Or is that why you painted it red?  :woohoo:

While I did like the previous color ALOT!!! The red is growing on me. May not ever be liked as much as the blue since it is my favorite color but its a new year a new club and association and a new beginning. Got to start somewhere. Thanks for everyone's comments. And NO rocky I never had the super suit in mind. LOL All sponsor dictated.  :woo:

Looks like a Ferrari, long low fast and red, have you picked a color for the front lens yet if not black would work the best in my opinion (best contrast). You plan on runnin' at the Illinois double header this year if so I hope to see you and Lucky No. Seven there.

The lense is BLACK looks good too!!! I am off in the morning to Miss. for a Monster truck show over the weekend!!! I will get some good daylight pictures. As for the ill. Double header. Unfortunaltely no!!! It was deemed by the higher power in USLMRA that I not be allowed to race US races or attend anything that is run by USLMRA. In other words I have been banned from the USLMRA and all USLMRA contorled websites. Attend some ARMA races and you will find me!!!! No freakin politics there!!!

Sir,  YOU were banned ?????   Why would a national organization ban a god fearing man like yourself?  Too popular, too open, too giving or ??????

It really is a question that should be answered!

Well, the USLMRA lost a great promoter of their association now. I'm sure, knowing how most racers are, some will be very upset and others will be glad. Racing is kinda strange....

My best friend was a karting champ back in the late 70's-early 80's running in an unlimited twin engine class. He dominated for a few years...then people complained that he is ruining the sport because he was putting to much money into his operation and always winning...so what did they do??? Banned him! For no other reason that he was not setting an example to the karting world by spending thousands and thousands of dollars. "We are trying to keep this an affordable sport for all to enjoy" was their responce, "and you are spending money like it is going out of style".....well the reality of it was he was an excellent driver. He did spend money for the best of what was out there, he owned a machine shop so fabrication of components was easy and so on.......

Strange thing......if you win to much in a AFFORDABLE racing class...someone will find a way to stop you from winning!

I don't know Georges whole story, but thought I'd share what I have seen in the past.


Either way......

ARMA is gonna grow fast now with George!!!

Good Luck George!!
