Well I posted on a few USLMRA LC sites a reminder about the Build Clinic and the heads of the groups were asked to remove my posts and remove me from the sites. Sucks I can't even communicate with the races without getting flack or the groups heads getting flack.

I don't get it... do they think you'd give 'newbies' like me really good tips so we'd be feared or something!?  They just think you're a force to be reckoned with ;)

How is it cheaper ?

Prices to race a generally lower with mower racing than most any other racing out there. Take 4 wheeler racing for example, you have to pay up to thousands of dollars for a new or even used quad. Then you add in all the performance parts you have to buy to be competative, like tires, rims, and so on, and its very expensive.

With mower racing, you can get mowers for free, make them run, pull the blades off, and race. And then to get into IMOW, its extremely cheap. If you have a transaxle, all you have to do its race prep it, and if you lower it, make or buy a jackshaft. Then buld or buy yourself a front axle and spindles thats no more than $200 at most. So compaired to other sports, mower racing is cheap, extremely cheap.

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

What I meant was ARMA vs other organizations.

I totally understand $$ LMR vs $$ other motorsports that's partially why I am here.

It is cheaper because the Association pays the insurance at this time. Thus the LC does not have that insurance cost after every race that they must come up with. Thus the races fees can be lower or none. Plus Annual membership is 25.00 a year US is 35.00. And the insurance is as good as any out there. Standard 2 mill. liability which covers all parties, plus the usual medical for the drivers that are participating. I can fax a break down or email. Thus without the insurance fee coming out of the local LC pocket means less overhead and less overhead means the rcaer if the LC does it right will pay less out of his/her pockets. Depending on how many attend an event under US insurance it isn't uncommon to have 300.00 or higher insurance bill after each event.

Since the wife was considering racing an IMOW ....I thought what the heck...lets register and get her a number (she din't like mine #617..so..)...this morning I registered the number 6.

Heck I may just take that number and make my build a GEORGE HERRIN tribute mower!

I donno I am on the fence on this one.

I understand the tribute part but I also know George hates IMOW's so isn't this going to be bit of an oxymoron?

I hated the old style IMOW's. That was an unsafe mower in my opinion. We tried for several years to get the present 07 chassis build for an IMOW. Regardless I love the new IMOW format. Very safe and should present much better racing now!!!! And YES I have some stickers I can send. Email me your addy and your mower color.
