To me personally, a joke on race machines. Lights are for the street.

at the speeds we run and as tight as packs get fighting for the checkered brake lights would just make your heart jump a split second faster and not get anymore reactions time don't think it would be worth it

Both of my mowers had the brake on the foot and on the handlebar, i rarely let off the gas entering a cornor, i hit the brake but kept all the gear trin loaded, so i really wasn't on full brake (with the throttle off )

Been running them for years been run over and over and over they didnt help a bit. They were good at playing mind games with certain ones turn on leave em on turn em off use right etc etc. its cool its cute but points. Yet a cool conversation piece.

If you run with the heard you will never see the edge of the cliff
Racing lawn mowers is not cheap just cheaper.
