Actually its as safe as your average round track racing. Its no different than the associations that race on road courses. Its in how you build them. In texas your average drag mower can't switch over and be a round track racer. You build it for one race type or the other not both thats how we keep it safe. AND ITS ONLY SILLY IF YOU CAN'T HAVE FUN..........AND ITS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE GUYS THAT DRAG RACE BIKES..
OOPs............I did not mean to ruffle any feathers. Let me be clear. I am a veteran of several forms of racing including drag racing bikes...and have dabbled in round track mower racing. I found that I am better at building than riding.
At the race distance of 150 ft. and top speed of 32 mph, yes, I too, believe it is safe. We must always keep in mind that we are talking about machines that were made to go around 5 mph. I see too many people come to the races with a 2 inch pulley and a string tied to the governor. Significant improvements in running gear, brakes, steering, ride height..........must be made to make these machines "safe". I have fully adjustable front steering on that mower and have had to tweek on it quite bit to make it stable at 32 mph. I feel like it will go quite a bit faster than 32 mph, but there is no need to find out.....that is not what I built it for. And it is VERY different from drag bikes....You start with a machine that was built to 150 mph....not 5 mph.
The question from Dankcorey22 was "how fast does that go?". I'll bet John Force has never jumped in his funny car to see "how fast it will go"...........That would be .............???? I tried to give him a thoughtful answer that would make him think. Sorry if I offended.
