I apologize guys, I posted earlier this year that I would be at the All American, I now realize that I would have to run my flathead up againist some of the OHV engines, I know the OHV's are faster and it's just too long a trip to a finish that's unobtainable unless someone breaks.

Well, this sucks!  I was looking forward to the chance to run against one of the fastest flatties in the country, it would have been an honor to be on the same track.

George, who would I run against IF I was to be the only AP in attendance?  I assume it would be CP?
You never win a race by focusing on one aspect of the race!  Motor isn't everything, but you better have a good one!  Chassis too!  But remember, a driver can take a slow machine and make it faster!  I may not have/be the best of any of these but I'm trying!

Not exactly BTMRA rule book loosely based from arma loosely being key word. Rules are at www.btmra.smfforfree2.com or www.allamericanmowerchampionships.yolasite.com. All associations classes are legal all independant clubs are legal No one will get turned away or loaded on the trailer unless they get ignorant with my staff or their machine is simply unsafe and not fixable. Tech will class machines inthe class they best fit. May the best racer win. We want all to come celebrate the sport of mower racing race hard and have a great time.

Thanks for the kind words, but as Clint once said, "A man has gotta know his limitations" The best built flattie out there would be hard pressed to beat a OHV. NOTE: The last thing I want to do is to start that debate again, it just is what it is. I'd love for you to make the trip up to the Nats in NC next month, sadly it will be my last race, so I plan to race hard, if either machines blow, it will just make a better coffe table in my front room. I've been told that I will remain single a long time if I do this, sounds like a plan to me?

You guys worry too much about the rules. The very nature of this event is for every one to come together for this one weekend and just RACE.  George and his staff do a great job organizing and administering this event. And it is an EVENT. Way more than just a race. You win the All American and you get to brag (deservedly) for an entire year. You are racing with the very best our sport has. The tech officials find a place for everyone to race. If you are running decent and getting around  the track pretty good....a 1/2 inch of seat height or  a little variation in tread width  or ride height isn't going to make or break you. I can't believe it when I hear someone say.."well...I don't have a chance to win...so I'm just not gonna go."  Come on....take a chance...race your heart out and may the creme rise to the top.

Will, ever heard the saying "Dont bring a knife to a gun fight"? I'm all for racing as hard as possible and enjoying all the comarade of the racers. But I also like to win, I have no plans to haul my stuff 12 hours one way just to get out gunned by a larger and totally different engine. want to race apples to apples? I'm in, but not againist a stacked deck to begin with. This particular situation I'm in is like anyone showing up and being put in a class two steps higher than you normally run. In ARMA, this is like putting my 8hp Mini up againist our Pro-X.

Im not fussing at you, just understand my side of it.

Will
Bit harsh there when you don't know the full extent of it. I have to agree with Tommy here I personally know both arma and us machines abilities and the best arma  mini/ap which Tommy's is doesn't have a chance against the new ohv's of us ap's ou cubes and out motored in every way. It's about the racin sure but we all wanna be competitive when we show up while I think the 8 up flattie he runs would be decent it's only chance against a ohv would be if they had trouble even I don't wanna win the biggest race of the year like that. So this subject is done back to the All American race bout a month away everyone get em ready and cleaned up and let's get ready for a great weekend.

I didn't intend to specify Tommy. The  intent was to reiterate the idea of the racing spirit.  I've seen him run once before...down in South Carolina and he impressed me. That little motor was just buzzing and he was getting around the track too. In fact...if that sticky Alabama gumbo is as good as it was last year...I firmly believe he would be very competitive, regardless of engine size or configuration. Regardless..I hope I didn't offend....and if I did , I appolagize.

Well I was going to attend but I fell off a ladder yesterday and broke my wrist.   I'm done racing for a while.  Probably till next year.

Tommy, I rarely post any more but, you are 100% correct.  I saw…first hand, just a couple weeks ago, an AP with a Honda GXV OHV in it…….it was bored to over 28ci. Hmmm….FX- Lite?
There was no fight, it dominated and lapped everything.  This is not comparing apples to apples. So why waste your time if you have a flat head?. There is no comparison. They now have a CP engine in an AP.

Tom.....on the upside....FYI, your Briggs Flat head you built the wife is still a rocket ship, as well as the Kawasaki Flat Head you and George collaborated on. Both are just plain sick and running like Banshee's.
